Hey, thanks for raising this! There is some discussion on https://github.com/mkdocstrings/griffe/issues/96 about adding this functionality to griffe, the tool we use to find python objects.
I think we should have everything to add an inherit_docstrings
option to quartodoc, but haven't implemented yet.
edit: linking to the sphinx code so it's easy to find later
I have the case where multiple classes (Derived Classes) - which are implementations of a Base Class - do not inherit the docstrings of abstract functions and attributes of the latter. Although I looked it up I could not really find some option to enable it. I mostly need this cause in the general inheritance case I wouldn't want to make the code verbose with copies of the same docstring in the function & properties of each of the derived class.
Looking up the issues I found this one https://github.com/machow/quartodoc/issues/224. But it does not quite fit my case. I think that it should be sth similar to Sphinx's
autodoc_inherit_docstrings = True
