I don't really understand the change. Those are perfectly valid Markdown links.
Refer to the docs for syntax: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#autolink referenced in Pagure's docs: https://docs.pagure.org/pagure/usage/markdown.html

If there's a problem with these, a bug/PR should be proposed for either Pagure or the underlying library (python-markdown according to Pagure's docs).

Looks like you're right! The reason for my change is that the links are incorrectly being treated as relative links. If you click on the API documentation link in the README, it sends you to https://pagure.io/taskotron/<http://docs.resultsdb20.apiary.io/>, which is obviously wrong.

Looks like this was raised in pagure#2906 and fixed in version 4.0.0, which isn't currently running here.
