Do you mean:

Obviously, triple backticks don't work in other contexts.

So your "fix" breaks assumption of others.

I think GitHub can render its README pane in reST format if you add a
symlink of README.rst -> README. No?

Do You normally sign a contract using the name of "carlodelos90"?

Signed-off-by should be regarded as a formal statement that you
have the right to submit a patch.

See "Sign your work - the Developer’s Certificate of Origin"
in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.

In your future submissions, please use your real name for signing off
unless you have a good reason not to do so.

I'm not sure if adding a symlink for the sake of GitHub compatibility
is acceptable or not. But it looks to me worth an attempt at least.

Thanks, Akira
