FWIW, Markdown is a very nearly plain text file format that is often used for README files (e.g. on github). I see in the link you provided that sourceforge supports Markdown, but only for README files with a markdown-like extension. If you would like the URLs in the README files to be links on the sourceforge repository browsing page (an possibly other places?), then it sounds like you could rename them to README.md (and README.developers.md etc). This might necessitate some reformatting if some previous plain text formatting gets mis-interpreted as unwanted markdown formatting. The Markdown syntax is very non-intrusive to a human reader. To humans, markdown files read very much like well formatted plain text files so they are well suited for inclusion in tarballs.
