Honestly, it might be better to use a realtime collaboration service. If you need to you could automatically sync this with the GitHub version by pulling updates on a schedule.
I've used hackmd.io for real-time collaboration in Markdown. They even offer an open-source self-hosted version, https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd. There may be other services as well.

As a fan of "text" I know it. I am running "CodiMD" - this is a selfhosted HackMD for collaborative editing text. This has lots of nice renderers built in for diagrams etc. https://github.com/hackmdio/CodiMD
