PyPI doesn’t do anything with README, it displays the value of long_description.

Is it a problem to name your reST file README.txt?
In packaging/distutils2, the recommended idiom looks like this (in setup.cfg):
[metadata]
description-file = README.whatever
sdist will include that file. You can also write the description in the
setup.cfg directly and have your README file included with the extra_files
field.
This can’t be changed in distutils and works differently without warning in
distutils2; closing.
