I thought github supported rst? The docs say that at least:

https://github.com/github/markup

We use this library on GitHub when rendering your README or any other
rich text file. The generated HTML is then run through filters in the
html-pipeline to perform things like sanitization and syntax
highlighting.

The following markups are supported. 
 * .rst -- easy_install docutils
