Discussed in #7173

Description

GitHub has recognized qmd as an alternative name for RMarkdown for two years (Since github-linguist/linguist#5518), but considering the spread of qmd and the newly introduced syntax since then, I think it would be better to separate it and make qmd independent Quarto Markdown.

I'm not convinced that the added disruption is worth it, but I could be persuaded.

The benefits is mostly for AI and in general for Quarto documents discoverability.
Right now, Quarto is not distinguishable from Rmarkdown for users and AI such as Copilot on GitHub.

Also Quarto is already very different from rmarkdown so the question is why state they are alike on GitHub?
