Please see #1072958 for the RM request on markdown.
It should be replaced with a maintained alternative such as discount.
You can check the blocking bugs for that RM bug to find the packages that need some change.

I'm considering adopting markdown and/or sponsoring this upload.

I would strongly advise against adopting the package because that will
alleviate the reverse dependencies' urge to update.

Problem is discount breaks some of my hacky markdown :)

Do you have an example? I would like to suggest another parser to you.

I considered suggesting letting the RM go through and just re-uploading but
doing it that way seems a waste of ftp-master time. Do you have any other
suggestions?

There are so many markdown impementations in Debian, just some suggestions with executables:
python3-markdown
python3-markdown2
python3-markdown-it
rust-markdown
libtext-markdown-perl
pmarkdown

If we do not find any alternative then stopping the RM and sponsoring this is preferrable.
