Perhaps.  It started as a living document that discusses the state
of affairs as of the time of posting (there are mentions to "the
most recent such release was ...", etc), and because I wanted to
keep it that way (and also I needed somewhere to keep track of it),
I deliberately kept it outside the source tree.

It is an addendum to howto-maintain-git, and what it covers overlaps
with it, so it will need some clean-ups if we want to go the route
you suggest.

Having said all that, I think it is still a good idea to keep the
occasional "A note from he Maintainer" posting on list, and a
version that needs to rever to another document after losing
overlaps with howto-maintain-git will no longer will be suitable
source for it, so...
