Yes, please! Looks like leftovers from commit 8d789c8cdb8 (docs/sphinx:
remove legacy QAPI manual generator).

The loop body could be dumbed down further:
if isinstance(section, QAPIDoc.ArgSection):
print(' %s=%s' % (section.kind, section.name))
else:
print(' %s' % section.kind)
print(section.text)
Expected output changes a bit more then. I don't mind.
