Sweetroll supports markdown, and you could write a mass import script that uses either micropub over HTTP or direct writes to postgres. I even wrote deployment docs… but honestly it’s still far from a CMS usable by people without a degree in Haskell, Postgres, JavaScript and rocket science :D
WordPress with the IndieWeb Plugin is probably the easiest solution, and I’m sure there are Markdown plugins for WordPress. (And ways to mass import posts…)
There’s also tooling for static generators like Jekyll.
See /projects for a long list of stuff…

known has a markdown plugin! https://github.com/idno/Markdown
wordpress also supports all of the indieweb protocols (webmention, micropub, etc) via plugins, and has many markdown and import plugins too.

If you’re interested in this, you might find Blogmesh - a PoC on using RSS feeds for this - interesting as well. Have a look at https://blogmesh.org/

The fun part about readers is that if you already parse microformats (because replies) and display feeds of entries, all you need to add is feed polling (and some feed management). (Ideally also WebSub for real time updates, but that can come later.)
Also, you can follow Mastodon accounts from a reader (since Mastodon has microformats) and use Bridgy Fed to interact with them :)
