Hi,

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.

For what it's worth, github-markup can handle .org files
