@zag Can you adapt the README.md to also include Pod6 in the supported markups list?

thank you!

Are there any other blockers for this PR? I don't want to be a pest, but I'm another Pod6 user who would love to see the format supported. If there are blockers, I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

Looking at the last commit to the repo and when the last PR was merged, it looks like GitHub currently doesn't maintain this repo. Maybe the previous maintainer (kivikakk?) has left the company and wasn't replaced yet?

Defenly yes [1]. What can be done in this case?

Yep, I no longer maintain markup and am not aware of a new maintainer. Probably contacting support is your best bet.

Thank you very much for your advice! I sent a request to the support team.

👋, here is the latest (26 January 2021) update on my request about the state of this PR and any help:

The team is looking into getting another member of GitHub staff to take over maintenance of that repo to replace @kivikakk. Your offer to participate is very kind, but unfortunately for security reasons it needs to be a member of staff.
