Then simply use the CLI to convert the markers to timestamps. Let's take the following EDL export as example.

timeline.edl

TITLE: Example Video
FCM: NON-DROP FRAME

001  001      V     C        00:00:00:00 00:00:00:01 00:00:00:00 00:00:00:01  
 |C:ResolveColorBlue |M:Intro |D:1

002  001      V     C        00:02:10:15 00:02:10:16 00:02:10:15 00:02:10:16  
 |C:ResolveColorBlue |M:Stuff |D:1

003  001      V     C        00:01:03:54 00:02:10:16 00:02:10:15 00:02:10:16  
 |C:ResolveColorGreen |M:Don't export this! |D:1

004  001      V     C        00:04:32:13 00:04:32:14 00:04:32:13 00:04:32:14  
 |C:ResolveColorBlue |M:Outro |D:1

Now, you can execute the tool with the following arguments.

chapterize timeline.edl \
    -c ResolveColorBlue \
    -f 60 \
    -o timeline.txt

The result will look like following.

timeline.txt

00:00 Intro
02:10 Stuff
04:32 Outro
