Uploading a correctly formatted README.rst fails

[Gouvernathor]

Describe the bug
I'm trying to publish my package but it gets rejected with error 400 saying that "the description failed to render".
Previous to that, the runner falsely claimed that my readme file had wrong syntax with wrong indentation at line 25 : it is not true because github displays it correctly and no other indentation at that line yields the same result.
On a sidenote, providing no readme at all also fails, though that block may not be at the upload level.

Expected behavior
The package publication should work.

To Reproduce
Try to upload a package with my readme, or any recursive bullet list with line wrapping.

My Platform
I think that's called GitHub Actions

Hello!

it is not true because github displays it correctly and no other indentation at that line yields the same result.

First off, PyPI and GitHub may not share same RST parsers, so there's no expectation of equivalent behavior.

Your example is actually called out in the RST specification as an incorrect example of nested lists.
See https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#bullet-lists

So if you believe this is an issue with the specification and/or the docutils library that handles the parsing, I'd advise you to raise it with those maintainers.

You might also want to test your description with twine check - see https://twine.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#twine-check
