Perhaps we can find a good pattern for having a README with badge types of things that includes actual content from the docs?
One concern to keep in mind if you start looking down this path is that most projects use their README by default as their package long-description. That means that when uploading a package to PyPi, it will use the content of the README as the description that is shown for that package. The rendering on PyPi, and the validation that they do that will reject the package upload if it has README syntax errors, is not aware of any Sphinx extensions we use in our normal docs, so pulling in other documentation into the README could potentially cause release issues.
