That was in March 2018, but it seems like you unfortunately never got a
reply here. Are you still working on this? Could you send the patch
you wrote?

It's better if they have a doc string even if they are internal
functions. It could make sense to rework comments into doc strings,
but I don't know the specifics in this case.
