For reStructuredText integration into Zope. I got the impression that
it was an official thing.

In what way are the tools rough? Other than:

Minor issues, all fixed now.

But of course! There are many, contributing a little bit here & there.
A few have contributed significant amounts. But it's mostly me, true.

I don't think that Docutils itself is ready. Autodocumenting Python source,
what I consider to be its main use case, isn't addressed yet. I've been
aiming at another release when that's ready.
I think the reStructuredText parser (with the one exception of interpreted
text) is mature and ready though. I'd be happy to help integrate that.
