I am alas not aware of a well fitting place.

But I see that it was already committed. Hence a sentence should be
added about whether/when/what for to publish proposed changes in a git tree.

Here is some more, after the fact:

- The two points that you are making...

(a) The repo URL should be convenient for cut'n'paste, i.e.
complete with protocol specifier like git:// and followed by the
branch name from which to pull, without line break between them.
(b) Include a shortlog and a diffstat generated by "git diff -M
--stat --summary". This properly shows file renames, creations,
deletions.

...can be told with far fewer words.

- You could mention that 'git request-pull' can be used to generate
the message text.

- Since this was placed in SubmittingPatches (targeted to submitters
rather than subsystem maintainers), it surely is noteworthy that a
pull request or announcement of a repo should sufficiently explain
the purpose of the repo or request, including its status WRT testing
and review, similar to a "[patch 0/n]" post.

PS: SubmittingPatches doesn't mention the "do"s and "don't"s of [patch
0/n] posts yet...
