tldr; Yes, I just didn't get around to it yet.
The rough plan is to actually document ioctls and properties and all that stuff in drm-uapi.rst, and then cross-link that with the driver-side documentation.
I'm confused regarding drm-uapi.rst's role. Is it a document for kernel driver writers to expand the uAPI, or is it a document for userspace?
It's currently filled with references to internal kernel symbols (drm_master_get, drm_ioctl_desc, drm_ioctl_permit and so on). Some chapters seem dedicated to kernel devs (e.g. "Testing and validation").
Is it really the right place for userspace devs to learn how to use KMS?
