ReST field list renders with spurious cell

My README.rst file contains the following snippet:

Source code

Pull requests are gratefully received and considered.

:GitHub repository: https://github.com/Lx/python-rosteron

which renders on GitHub like this:

but renders on PyPI like this:

It's not a CSS issue—an extra table cell with an &nsbp; is being generated:

<table>
    <col>
    <col>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <th>GitHub repository:
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>&nbsp;
            <td><a href="https://github.com/Lx/python-rosteron" rel=nofollow>https://github.com/Lx/python-rosteron</a>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

(The intermittent lack of </th> and </td> is not a typo.)

This issue additionally exists here: https://pypi.org/project/metlinkpid/

Reported with minimal reproducible example in docutils bug tracker.

I note that a fix is pushed but my documents on PyPI are still currently affected. Would it be more appropriate to keep this issue open until the fix propagates to the site?

The fix was pushed to PyPI in https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/pull/10480. PyPI will eventually re-render your projects description with the new version of this library, but this happens slowly, in batches, over a period of time.
