When I brought up enabling Markdown previously, I was a bit over-eager and started talking implementation before there was any sort of consensus about it in principle, so it was a bit of a straw-man.
The previous discussion seemed to rest with the onus being on the user to do it themselves, perhaps by installing (the non-Python) pandoc (non-trivial on Windows) as well as pypandoc and then integrating it into twine or some such. There seems to be a chasm between the GitHubbers that have various issues and PRs to this effect on the pypa/readme_renderer repo that are met with a frustrating silence from people with commit-power. Is the solution to basically write a full spec (PEP?) before touching any code? That seems like an actionable solution, but is it simply going to be rejected out-of-hand because of the "just learn rST" sentiment among the maintainers?
