retarget pull requests ;-)
In conclusion, keep up the great w

I like the idea of supporting a small, strict subset of Markdown that
can be used to translate from NEWS.md to NEWS.
Following from Yihui's example, it would be pretty easy to write a
parser in R for such a format (and I'd be willing to try implementing
one, if that would be of interest).
