How about doing this instead, to update all outdated or incorrect
information in that file? In addition to the marc.info update,
- refer to gmane;
- git-scm.org gives a CNAME with less commercial feeling to the

- "A note from the maintainer" is not usually followed by useful
discussion to discuss status, direction nor tasks;
- There is no separate "What's in git (stable/topics)".
