Why would Markdown exclude a good number of otherwise capable contributors? Understandable for TeX and maybe Asciidoc (don't know) but for Markdown this cannot be true.

If someone's less familiar with something, they're likely to volunteer to contribute using it.  It doesn't matter if it's Markdown, TeX (is that still a thing?  I last used it 30-odd years ago) or the solution du jour - anything that "needs learning" is an extra step to be dealt with before useful contribution can take place.

Even the process of moving changes from https://switch2osm.org/ to http://switch2osm.github.io/ (which "should" have been straightforward) turned out to be less so because of the lots of little complexities associated with moving from one format to another.
