Description
When running the command `brew info macdown`, the following warning is shown:
```
Deprecated because it does not pass the macOS Gatekeeper check! It will be disabled on 2026-09-01.
```
If signing the app is not an option, I would propose creating a tap to allow Macdown to continue to be available through homebrew as a third-party tap.
