Clean the README a little bit
Notably, remove a section that was just describing the workflow that is now used by 99% of people, thanks to github and co. People now how to do these things nowadays.

ideas, what you are going to do, or to seek help if you have trouble
understanding some of the code.
-The preferred way to submit changes is through a public git repository.
-But mercurial repositories or simple patches are also welcome.
-
-For contributors having commit access:
-
-This section explains how the git repository is organized.
-The “master” branch is the branch where all recent development is made. This is
-the unstable version, which can be broken, but we should try to keep it usable
-and crash-free as much as possible (so, never push to it if you are adding a
-*known* crash).
-
-New big features that take time to be complete should be developed in feature
-branches (for example the “plugins” or the “opt” branches).
-If it’s a really long feature, merge the “master” branch in that feature branch
-from time to time, to avoid huge merges (and merge issues) when you’ll have to
-merge your feature back in “master”.
-
-Merge your work in master once it works and is usable, not necessarily when
-it’s 100% finished. Polishing and last bug fixes can take place in “master”.
-
-Conflicts should be solved with *rebase* and not with merge. This means
-that if two developers commited one thing at the same time in their own
-repository, the first pushes on the public public repos, and the other
-has to pull before being able to push too. In that case, the second
-developer should use the rebase command instead of merge. This avoids
-creating unnecessary “branches” and visible merges.
-On the contrary, when merging feature branches back to “master”, we should
-use merge with the --no-ff tag (this makes sure the branch will always
-distinctly appear in the logs), even if no conflict occured.
-
-Finally, when a release is ready, we should merge the “master” branch
-into the releases branch, then tag it to that version number.
-If an “urgent” bugfix has to be made for a release (for example
-a security issue is discovered on the last stable version, and
-the current master has evolved too much to be released in the current
-state), we create a new bugfix branch from the “releases” branch, we fix
-it and finally merge it back to the “releases” branch, and tag it (and
-we merge it to “master” as well, of course).
