Ok, I have done a quick (read: very rough and hacky) prototype of the
formatter here [1]

It uses the sphinx formatter plugin system, and reads from what we
already have in the api-ref/* folder.

It outputs [2] yaml that describes each endpoint, and the fields in the
request / response.

If there is interest, I can clean up the patch, and look at supporting
microversions.
