We used to have a super-special repository for each project, but moved away
from that since the assumption that every project has one proved to be false

I totally agree that we should render READMEs just like Github does, but
that would be for a single repository, which makes sense on a repository
level (just render the README at the root of the repository). However, I
think the wiki would be a perfect place to put project wide README, so I'm
all for this!
