I haven't seen these be added to the GFM spec yet.

Version 0.29-gfm (2019-04-06)

Not sure if we'll see it happen...

FWIW, they do update their code without necessarily updating the spec, and we're on the latest release: https://github.com/github/cmark-gfm/releases/tag/0.29.0.gfm.13

I kind of thought it was something like this, unfortunately.

According to @wooorm, this stuff will never be part of the spec, because it’s a GitHub postprocessing feature and not a syntax feature (source: github/cmark-gfm#350)

Since most of the the other postprocessing stuff is GitHub specific (like linking PRs and so on), I doubt it’s in scope to implement it here.
