[issue15266] Perform the same checks as PyPI for Description field

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

This easy way exists: “pysetup run check” checks the rst syntax; retitling.

Basically it’s a matter of using the same settings (no file inclusion, etc.) as PyPI and checking the URI schemes.

One maintenance issue is the possible discrepancy between PyPI’s checks and distutils2’s; if the PyPI maintainers agree to announce all changes to catalog-sig it could work (just like for classifiers).
