I expect to have a little bit more time this summer to work on Bio.Phylo and Bio.PDB/Struct, and I'm going to start by converting the docstrings in Bio.Phylo to reStructuredText. This won't take much time, and once we merge that branch and make the Docutils dependency official (for building Epydoc documentation), that will reduce the activation energy for porting the rest of our docstrings.
