While this is fine as an aspirational goal, I don’t think it really can be achieved.
CodiMD (now HedgeDoc) is a significant piece of software that is moving forward quickly, and it is probably too expensive to try to keep up a modified local variant.

We could, however, update the datatracker markdown rendering feature to at least have approximate feature parity with CodiMD, by enabling the “extras” that are in common use today; see my previous message about that.
