Official Emacs website points out to various other official Emacs
related resources:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/documentation.html
But who will watch the website? Just small number of actual
users. Emacs is by my feeling just installed as part of GNU/Linux
system by the OS package manager.
From Emacs itself it is harder to find Emacs website, I do not even
know how. How will users find mailing lists from within Emacs?

Yes, who knows if it will be implemented, it requires consensus,
reviews, judgments, discussions.

A curated index that points to various messages and answers some
common questions is useful to be published on static pages as that
would be picked up by search engines.
