Thanks for the hint.

The code is on GitHub.  Here

https://github.com/stsquad/emacs_chrome/blob/master/servers/edit-server.el

it says you can do the following

(setq edit-server-url-major-mode-alist
      '(("github\\.com" . markdown-mode)))

This more or less works for me.  If I save the emacs buffer, the
contents are written back to the edit field in the browser, but the mode
switches back to 'text', and emacs hangs.  If I then do 'C-g', the mode
goes back to my chosen one.  So it's slightly broken, but functional.
