So, I had opened up a PR (#563) to add README.rst to the distutils readme list. Turns out, I didn't read the devguide correctly, and there needed to be an open issue first. Oops.

Then I found bpo-11913 (https://bugs.python.org/issue11913), which said:

This would be easy to fix, but as it would be considered a new feature, it can’t go into distutils, which is frozen.

I've reopened the issue. Feel free to propose a patch!

Regards

Antoine.
