So that the readme gets pulled up to pypi, among other things.

Ok, what effect does that have then? REST framework doesn't currently include them, and I'd normally only use the manifest for stuff actually in the package, so I'm not sure what difference this'd make to the package or PyPI listing of the package.

If you include the README in the actual package, the pypi listing shows the readme contents. Compare http://pypi.python.org/pypi/djangorestframework with http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-jstemplate. In fact, it will also include CHANGELOG and, I believe, LICENSE.

There's definitely an argument to be had for not including it (since no one will ever look at the README in the actual package source), but it's nice to have that extra context on packages when browsing PyPI. I believe there's also a way to manually set the package details, but you'd have to update it manually each time you change the README/CHANGELOG content.
