Hi Eduardo, as stated in the README,

The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git
(stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion
following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project
status, development direction and remaining tasks.

Additionally, I think the README should include something like

If you are looking to contribute to the project, a good place to start
is http://git-blame.blogspot.com/p/note-from-maintainer.html and in
Documentation/howto/maintain-git.txt

because it took me forever to find them, and contributing will be
difficult until you have read them.

Regards,

Andrew Ardill
