It would be a nice feature if reftex can highlight all missing
references/citations in the buffer. For example, references/citations
such as \ref{nonexistence} or \cite{nonexistence} point to nonexistent
entries, which should be highlighted as errors.

I've added bug-auctex to the CCs; perhaps they have some comments here.
(Does auctex have a separate bug tracker? I think I asked once before,
but I forgot the answer.)

Such a functionality is provided by AUCTeX (I can't tell about Emacs
stock LaTeX mode). Take for example this file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}
Hit \verb|C-c C-t C-w| to set \verb|TeX-debug-warnings| to \verb|t|.
Run LaTeX on the file with \verb|C-c C-c RET|
Choose from the menu \verb|Command->Error Overview|

I think this is what the request is about, so we don't need to teach
RefTeX the same thing what LaTeX is actually doing and AUCTeX is
parsing. I also think this is the right order.
So I'd say this is wontfix.

No, it uses debbugs as well. You have to reassign the bug to AUCTeX and
you have one report less on your plate 😉
Best, Arash

Yup; so I've closed this now.
