I am moderately averse to hardcoding that URL that is guaranteed not to
survive the maintainer change in our README file. The howto/maintain-git
document mentions the periodical "A note from the maintainer" posting to
the list that has the same text, which is a more appropriate reference.

Would a link to the wiki be more appropriate? Perhaps even a 'getting
started' page that collates information like this?

When kernel.org comes back online I may have a go at creating such a
page. Any thoughts?

"Getting started" that describes how they got started, collectively
maintained by people who got started recently, may serve as a good guide
for people who follow. And if it is done as a wiki, you are free to create
and update without asking permission from the community ;-).
