IMHO it's useful to see Markdown files as one of the types of files listed on the GitHub front page in the file statistics section, alongside other files. It gives a sense for the amount of documentation present in a project. On the other hand, some configuration files are not useful to count, such as .md files in a `.gemini/` subdirectory and configuration files for tools like git.

Code Review
This pull request adjusts GitHub's file statistics by adding a .gitattributes file. The change makes Markdown files count towards language statistics and excludes various configuration files. My review identifies an opportunity to simplify the configuration by removing redundant overrides for files that GitHub's Linguist already excludes by default. This will improve the maintainability of the .gitattributes file.
Cross-checked this with the languages.yml file in the Linguist source code repo.
