I was building a package where I had a README.org file, which
setuptools couldn't find.
It listed .md as a valid format, so I was wondering if org-mode was
sufficiently plain text to be added to the list of accepted README file
formats?What's org-mode? Sounds like an Emacs thing based on what I have heard Emacs people say. :)If it is an Emacs thing then I would vote "no" since that's very editor-specific and I suspect trying to support every plaintext file format is never-ending.Well yes, it's certainly most powerful, flexible, and feature complete with emacs, but there is work on org-mode support in vim and sublime. Additionally org-mode syntax is supported by GitHub, GitLab, and pandoc.There's also an argument that org-mode is a good lightweight markup language in and of itself.[...]
