Well, no offense, but that was the easy part. I would be very interested
in hearing how to handle the hard part (the one I have given up on when
I was trying to integrate libupskirt): how to make it play nice across
the distributed nature of fossil, including nodes with older versions
which do not include the change.

From what I gather in previous discussion, there is no hope of ever
having markdown in the official branch without the hard part being
solved.

On my markdown branch, I worked around it by first providing support of
embedded docs in markdown, i.e. adding a hook to .mkd files, processing
them into HTML and add fossil theme around like for .wiki files.

Is there any interest in my approach, or should I let it gather digital
dust in peace?

On the other hand, works on hook would probably include (make it easy
to include) embedded doc and/or wiki filter that would accomplish the
same thing while being extremely more flexible.
