Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
For CREDITS.txt, the only issue is 'Löwis' (ö has latin-1 code 246), which was
changed from Loewis in 2003. If not changed back to the ascii form, what
matters is that the encoding used for decoding from bytes to unicode matches
the actual encoding. AFAIK, it currently does
def ShowIDLECredits(self): # aboutDialog.py, line 130
self.display_file_text('About - Credits', 'CREDITS.txt', 'iso-8859-1')
No encoding is given for README.txt, line 133, because none should be needed.
I am going to leave this alone for now.
