New C APIs should either be documented or have an underscore prefix. Also, if they're part of the stable ABI, they need a version guard.
Wishlist item: an automated ABI checker that can diff the exported symbols against a reference list (Could ctypes or cffi be used for that?) As long as this kind of thing involves manual review, we're going to keep making similar mistakes :P That said, a potentially simpler first step would be a list of common mistakes to check for/questions to ask during reviews as part of the devguide. Cheers, Nick.
