BUG: when a user adds a link to their github repo

[lwasser]

In the astartes review the links are provided via markdown as is the version.

Because of that when the link to the github url is parsed, it returns GitHub (which is the text) instead of the actual link.
We may need to add a check to the validator for links to ensure a link always begins with http and also to parse text if it is in markdown form.

because version is parsed this way as well it might make sense to do a markdown link check helper method and runs on any code that is supposed to be a link.

see pyOpenSci/pyopensci.github.io#283 for what the manual fix looks like. if we run the action again however it will revert to the github text.

I was planning to edit the description of pyOpenSci/software-submission#120 after seeing pyOpenSci/pyopensci.github.io#283.
Is that ok or should I keep the current version as a test?
