Show README or DESCRIPTION on project's home page.

Created by: docwhat

The description field was removed in 2.4 or 2.5. But nothing replaces it, which is really annoying.

This was very useful for showing information like:

  • A verbose description of the software.
  • Jenkins (a CI tool) job status.
  • Jenkins job URL.
  • Link to deployments.
  • Notes about usage, etc.

Can we either:

  1. Show the README on the home page?
  2. Show an alternative (maybe specified per project or globally) file?
  3. Show a hard-coded file like DESCRIPTION or GITLAB-DESCRIPTION?

Ciao!
