Why does this file have an extension of .rst? What does that even mean for the fileformat?

This format really took off in the Python community in the 2000's for documentation. The Linux kernel has used it for documentation as well for a while now.

reStructuredText. Just like you have .md files everywhere.

Everyone missed a great opportunity to lie to you and tell you that the Linux kernel now requires you to program in rust.
