I have the impression that we misunderstand us ...

You will add this line only to these files where you have changed the 
markup from *vintage* kerenel-doc to reST. In my solution, you can
change the markup on every comment, but you don't have to .. it
is enough to add one line at the top of the file.

It's hard to describe something without an example, let my finish my
work and after this I can show it by example. Then you will see,
that the impact is less then you fear.

I haven't tested [1], but I assume that it covers only docutils-reST not
the Sphinx-doc superset (thats might be the reason why you see less errors)
... anyway it could be convenient tool.

PS: I looked closer to [1], it uses the docutils puplischer ..

  from docutils.core import Publisher

with a /dev/null like stream

  document.reporter.stream = None

The errors you get from this are the same you get from a rst2xxx 
tool ...

|  >>> import restructuredtext_lint
|  >>> errors = restructuredtext_lint.lint("""
|  ... Hello World
|  ... =======
|  ... 
|  ... :ref:`label_name` 
|  ... """)
|  >>> errors[0].astext()
|  u'None:3: (WARNING/2) Title underline too short.\n\nHello World\n======='
|  >>> errors[1].astext()
|  u'None:5: (INFO/1) No role entry for "ref" in module "docutils.parsers.rst.languages.en".\nTrying "ref" as canonical role name.'
