Interestingly enough there is a plugin for it. See at github or at netbeans portal To install it go to Tools -> plugins -> Available Plugins and search for readme. Choose plugin called Display readme files in project view. You can change which files to show on the Tools -> options -> Miscellaneous->Display more files panel:

UPDATE 2022:

Currently, the old NetBeans portal unavailable because it was decommissioned. You can download plugin from here and install manually. To install it manually, download the file readmeinprojectview-1.6.0.nbm then go to Tools -> Plugins -> Donwloaded -> Add Plugins. Then select the plugin and click Install.

Because readme.md is not part of project code. It is a descriptor file for marking down specific lines and paragraphs to highlight project details and it is used to generate the html summary you see at the bottom of projects on pages like GitHub.

It will be visible in the Files tab.
