That sounds great !

Ideally each flag would be a bit more documented in code (not just a
short desc and a default value) and the plugin would pick those comments up.

Then it can serve as a basis to write the flags chapter in the user
documentation ("OpenStack manuals"). This one needs a bit more human
editing (logical groupings of flags, explanation of several flags at the
same time...) but would use the Sphinx-plugin-generated doc as raw material.
