Enable markdown in repository descriptions

[cseas]

GitHub provides an option to initialise a README file while creating a repository. For this, it copies the same content from the Description into the README.

Now if someone wrote some markdown, expecting it to work, it would work in the README file but the Description is all rendered as plain text. Can markdown be enabled for repository descriptions too? That would make life a bit easier.

Not sure if this is right place to post this issue/feature request.
