The following features have been requested many times but we have declined to implement them.

Alternative markup formats

We will not be adding any markup formats (e.g. for README.md files) besides Markdown, and more specifically Commonmark. (Yes, that includes Org mode).

You can set a custom readme for your git or hg repository, which will also show up on the project hub if applicable, using arbitrary HTML (subject to some sanitizing). You may then generate a custom README from an arbitrary markup langauge, including Org mode or any other language. Please consult the documentation to learn more.

Additional names for README or LICENSE files

Occasionally we are asked to recognize "readme" or "read_me.md" or "README.mdown", or "license.txt" or "unlicense.txt" or similar.

The list of recognized names for README and license files is enumerated here. We will not be expanding the list to include every conceivable manner of naming these files. Please update your repository to use one of the supported file names instead.

terms: fix language around content deletion

This supersedes [#66048][], as I named the incorrect project name in the
subject, which caused the build to fail. Original email is quoted below:

[#66048]: https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-dev/patches/66048

A very small typo I noted in the terms of service; alternatively it
could be corrected as "will not [be] displayed", but either one reads
fine to me. No worries if the terms need more ceremony to be changed;
was as easy to submit as a patch as it would've been to raise in the
mailing list.
