My offer was to write a README.md after some discussions, but of course
reworking an existing resource is an even better approach.

Do I understand you correctly that README.txt is generated upon
compiling LilyPond? So where does it end up, I couldn't find a
README.txt neither in the source repository nor in the installation
directory. Does it only end up in the documentation (which I haven't
built locally)?
