I imagine that we would want to limit ourselves to the subset of GitHub flavored markdown that we can actually render (which might be all of it, or some of it).
Note, GitHub Flavored Markdown is a documented set of extensions to CommonMark, with both being released under CC-BY-SA-4.0. It's not proprietary and it is not the case that only GitHub knows what it is, even if they authored the specification of the list of extensions. It is also specified (making it documented, even if perhaps, poorly).
This isn't an endorsement of GFM, just a clarification of what it is and is not.
