Not much to add: the README in `elpa-admin` is supposed to be "generic" (under the assumption that `elpa-admin` could be used for many other archives), whereas the READMEs in the `main` branch of `elpa.git` and `nongnu.git` should describe what's specific to the corresponding (Non)GNU ELPA case and delegate the rest to the `elpa-admin` README.
