 Currently, the readme.txt only supports embedding of YouTube and Vimeo
 video files.

 I want to request the addition of Wistia video embeds.

 Why Wistia?

 Wistia is a platform with business goals in mind. It allows for more
 control over the videos shown on plugin description pages.

 The most interesting features to me are:

 - Allows AB testing of videos, which helps find the video version with the
 most positive impact on the viewers.
 - More stylistic control, like changing backgrounds or adding rounded
 corners.

 Why is that interesting for the wordpress.org repository?

 Suppose plugin developers have better tools to measure the impact of their
 videos on their audience and improve those videos based on that data. In
 that case, it will help them create better videos and a better plugin
 experience overall.
