Sure!  As long as it's in accordance to the GPLv3 _anywhere_ is
acceptable.  Any markup/markdown/whatever your preferred form of
modification is, should be available to readers of RBP.

_Multiple_ places (especially geographically) is best for redundancy.  I
like mailing lists also because everything gets mirrored to subscribers'
inboxes.  Unfortunately the list server itself is still a single point
of failure (a shame that Usenet is dead), but most subscribers/posters
can still fall back to emailing each other directly.
