That could be a useful feature, suitable for checkdoc.el, perhaps. But
there are 2 issues here that I'm not sure how would such a feature handle:
. not every symbol that has a doc string is mentioned in the manuals
. the doc string and the text in the manual are generally different, and so
it could be that the update to a doc string doesn't require any update to
the manual text
So a naïve implementation would probably have too many false positives. Not
sure if this could render the feature useless.
Bottom line: I'm not sure we can have a good automated way of detecting
updates that were missed, except at patch review time, and that is a
judgment call by the person who does the review, and relies on his/her
vigilance. But if someone could come up with a good way of doing that, it
will be appreciated.
