I suggest you put together a minimal pull request for DFeed 
(https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed), maybe a patch that just 
handles one or two markup tokens, then open another forum thread 
here asking if there are any objections, as many people likely 
won't see this thread because of the unrelated title.  If that's 
too much effort, at least open another thread without the pull 
request.

I don't think there's anything wrong with sending markdown as 
plain text to the newsgroup and email lists, as it's meant to be 
readable.
