Convert a GitHub Wiki to TexInfo

Hi,

I maintain a project which hosts most of its documentation in its GitHub 
Wiki (using GFM markup). I was thinking that perhaps it may be useful for 
some users if that documentation was included with distributions of the 
software, and made available via GNU info.

My questions are:

1. Is this reasonable and feasible?
2. If so, how to achieve this using pandoc?

I naively tried:

pandoc -f gfm *.md -o output.texi

I noticed two immediate issues with the output:

1. All input pages were concatenated into a single page.
2. The GitHub-specific syntax for linking to other wiki pages doesn't seem 
to be supported. [[Page Name]] is expected to become a link to the page in 
Page_Name.md, and [[link text|Page Name]] allows setting the link text to 
something else.

The input I'm experimenting with can be downloaded by running "git clone 
https://github.com/CyberShadow/DustMite.wiki.git".

Thanks!

...

P.S.: I tried posting this message by email, but it bounced with "We're 
writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact 
(pandoc-discuss) may not exist, or you may not have permission to post 
messages to the group."  Perhaps https://pandoc.org/help.html should be 
updated to mention that you must subscribe to the group before being able 
to post here.
