While the current docutils package in Debian indeed ships a quite dated version of rst.el, the docutils upstream trunk has a newer version, and it is even newer than what emacs ships (it is version 1.5, released this year). Speaking in terms of your diff, it has copyright 2003-2016 [0]. Also, all the current development happens in upstream docutils project [1], and the new releases are announced on docutils-users mailing list [2]. So I think docutils is still the right package to ship rst.el. Will it suit you if I just update the package to include the latest version of rst.el from upstream trunk?
