In Ironic world we run doc8 on README.rst as part of the pep8 job.
Maybe we should make it a common practice?

First, the doc8 tool should be considered generally useful for any
project with Sphinx-based documentation, regardless of whether it's
a Python project. Second, doc8 isn't going to necessarily turn up
the same errors as `python setup.py check --restructuredtext
--strict` since the latter is focused on validating that the
long description (which _might_ be in a file referenced from your
documentation tree, but also might not!) for your Python package is
suitable for rendering on PyPI.

This is a good point about the README not necessarily being the
long description. Another option for teams that have complicated
README files that would be a lot of work to make compatible would
be to explicitly set the long_description value for the project to
something else:
