If you want to have documentation extracted from source files, you need to 
engage with the SC and FSF at an early stage to get suitable license 
exception wording to permit the relevant text to be used in the manuals as 
well as the main (GPL) sources.  Of course, the ordering and (especially) 
section divisions in the internals manual are human-designed not arbitrary 
so you need to retain the ability to put the documentation of each hook in 
an appropriate position in an appropriate section of the manual.

If you can make this work it should reduce the risk of people not 
documenting new hooks, but for it to work the FSF agreement is critical as 
is ensuring it genuinely works as well as the existing system without 
regressions (including working in update_web_docs).
