both fine with me, we can convert asterisks to dashes

Does this mean if this bug gets fixed, then we wouldn't need the extra
empty lines between list items?

Yes. The following works in the Notes section, but not in Parameters:
- item one
- item two
  this is a multi-line item
- item 3
 

Currently, the rendering in the doc editor view for item lists has
also wrong indentation
http://docs.scipy.org/numpy/docs/numpy.ndarray.transpose/
but the html looks ok
http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.ndarray.transpose.html

Html looks fine indeed. It should still look like that once that bug is fixed.
