By the way while I tried to find a way to convert Markdown to texinfo or
info I found “/gnu/store/…-markdown-1.0.1/share/doc/README”.

Also gives many of README
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
find /gnu/store -name README
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I don't think it will be possible to contact every maintainer (for other
packages).  And I didn't find a tool to convert, too.  As I understand
it preferably needs to be written in Guile or C.  There are famous
things like Pandoc which will pull all Haskell or whatever language.
Obvios over powered for Emacs packages.

So, if you don't think it's proper for Guix, then here is a patch
without README.
