I think right now almost all new featu= res and bug fixed are using branch=C2=A0
emacs-25, AFAIK once =C2= =A0emacs-25 is considered stable enough it is merged with=C2=A0
m= aster branch.
=C2=A0
=C2=A0
Is there any document explaining this things?=C2=A0 If not, I'd be happ= y to
write one (once I know that myself).

Best,

some time ago Nicolas Petton send= a url for a new website for emacs
may be he added some info abou= t this. Meanwhile I suggest you to take a look=C2=A0
at the maili= ng list archive to see how it went for others.=C2=A0

= I myself struggled with this same situation where there is not an easy intr= o for=C2=A0
new developers.
