How about doing this instead, to update all outdated or incorrect information in that file?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)".
