OK, a couple updates:
- commonmark has been accepted from the NEW queue
- I finally got gitit updated (I ran into a bug in haskell-devscripts that 
I had to resolve).

I'm not totally convinced of the need to use experimental for 
jira-wiki-markup - I think we can just upload it when we update pandoc. 
So, let's hold off on that for now.
