Bug#466330: ITA: adopting markdown

Control: retitle -1 ITA: markdown -- Text-to-HTML conversion tool
Control: owner -1 !

Hi all!

I think having the original markdown implementation in Debian is a good 
thing, for historical reference and for compatibility - there's people 
still using this package (I myself use this quite often when wanting to 
check for correctness of my markdown files).

I worked a bit on modernizing packaging, and attached you can find 
three patches which contain all my changes. Since I'm a DM, somebody 
would need to either add me to the DM acl of this package or to sponsor 
my upload. In any case, I've pushed my update to Mentors too: 
<https://mentors.debian.net/package/markdown/>

Chris, I noticed you've asked for removal of the markdown package. As 
you might guess, I disagree with its removal, and with my adoption I'm 
already fixing the Serious bug preventing the package to migrate to 
testing. Is it possible to stop the RM procedure?

Thanks!
