I think right now almost all new features and bug fixed are using branch
emacs-25, AFAIK once  emacs-25 is considered stable enough it is merged
with
master branch.

some time ago Nicolas Petton send a url for a new website for emacs
may be he added some info about this. Meanwhile I suggest you to take a
look
at the mailing list archive to see how it went for others.

http://nicolas-petton.fr/ressources/emacs-website/

I myself struggled with this same situation where there is not an easy
intro for
new developers.
