But ... I prefer PR with an updated MAINTAINERS file too ;)

Sorry, it's too cool for me :) And I found a workaround:

  local t = geany.fileinfo();
  geany.newfile("UNTITLED" .. t.ext);

(but untitled document would be more convenient because it's obvious).

Well, I do not want to lose, maybe will useful :), patch (like document.new_file in GeanyPy, + fix two build warnings & upd geanylua-ref.html):
