Hi Matt,
Thanks for your patch.

I don't think it's inadequate, but I also don't know if this should be
part of ox-md in it’s present form.
The original md specification doesn’t seem to support this syntax:
https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
(I searched for % and author).
Would it be recognized by say Github or Stack Exchange? On Github
"^% Rasmus\n" is printed as just that, so I guess not.
Perhaps it would be better to define a new backend, ox-md-pandoc.el, or
add a "#+MARKDOWN_FLAVOR" keyword to condition such insertions on.
Cheers,
Rasmus
