Wow, that's unfortunate, but I guess that's the risk I was running. I really appreciate you pointing this out to me @VincentTam !

[VincentTam]

Nonetheless, you've the right choice of technology: static comments. I can't agree more with what you've written about the upside of Staticman in this article. The current official Staticman instance doesn't work for v2. You may either

1. choose official Staticman instance v3, or
2. choose alternative API instance

P.S. I've chosen the 2nd option and I've built @staticmanlab, a public Staticman instance for GitLab, due to the possibility to tweak the API instance, like support from multilined message in https://github.com/eduardoboucas/staticman/pull/301.
