I think it only looks at the long_description metadata; as far as I know
README is just another file in the archive.
If you do want to convert it, though, please make sure it can fail
gracefully if pandoc isn't there, because it would be frustrating to
have problems installing a package from source just because it couldn't
convert the README format.
