@kant, I'm not used to working directly through github.com -- so I can only give rough guidance -- but what I'm looking for is a pull request that does the entire conversion of the file all at once, adding the new version and removing the old one in the same pull request. I think you can do this by creating a branch on your local fork of this repository, then creating the new file and removing the old file within the same branch; then you can create a pull request from that branch to the official repository.
