who to thank for the new RST doc format?

[mh@pixar.com]

I am really loving the output, and have started using RST for some
of my own docs as well.

It's wonderful and I know it was a lot of work on somebody's part
to think it through and make the changes.

If it was you, Many Thanks!!!

It *is* good, isn't it? Direct your thanks at the creator of Sphinx
(http://sphinx.pocoo.org).

David Goodget was the champion of RST itself.

Georg Brandl pushed its use for Python docs with Sphinx.
Benjamin Peterson has done many of the actual changes, often within a
day after a suggestion is posted.
