Heh, after running twice or three times to avoid cache issues, I tested
running it on my machine with two different python versions:

$ time python3.13 scripts/kernel-doc.py . --none

real    0m31,660s
user    0m30,911s
sys     0m0,588s

$ time python3.9 scripts/kernel-doc.py . --none

real    0m59,004s
user    0m58,014s
sys     0m0,730s

$ time python3.6 scripts/kernel-doc.py . --none

real    1m16,494s
user    1m15,400s
sys     0m0,765s

(after a fix I'm about to send to prevent lots of output about
 python version)

So, yeah, Python version seems to be one of the reasons why it is
taking so long on your machine.

Thanks,
Mauro
