It’s pretty trivial for us to add footnotes to our markdown editor, so if a bunch of people upvote this, I can get around to it this or next week (we use markdown-it, which has a plugin for footnotes).
FWIW, it’s likely that the absence of a text-centering plugin is deliberate (to the extent that a community/cultural consensus can be “deliberate”). After all, Markdown is a tool for structuring text, not styling it. (To put it another way, Markdown is a markup syntax for converting text to HTML, not to HTML+CSS!)
Empirically, we should not expect to find any centering plugins any more than we should expect to find Markdown plugins to paint your text with all the colors of the rainbow, to change the font to Zapfino, to rotate it 75° counterclockwise, etc.; and, normatively, we should not write such plugins (even though we totally could).
Neat, thanks! No worries about centering text. Footnotes would be much more valuable; especially the ability to automatically insert jump links (or display on mouse hover) rather than having to scroll up and down/open the document in two tabs.

Centering text doesn’t seem to have a plugin available, and I haven’t really seen it anywhere, so we probably won’t have that.
