security: since there is no dedicated security group, I take charge for now.
...
Disclosure of vulnerabilities should be handled by a dedicated, multi-person
group, which for now does not exist. I take charge (hopefully temporarily) of
being that point of contact for now.

readme: language revision. Removed stale info.
...
Tried to simplify the document, to reduce unneded info, and to use a less
informal language.
For example, the introductory links describing git made sense 10 years ago.
Today they are not needed to understand what Etherpad is.
And mercurial was always better than git, anyways :)
The mailing list and the IRC channel seem pretty dead by now. Let's just
move everything to Github issues, which was the de facto situation anyways.
About the donation links: I am the maintainer, and I do not know the identity of
the owners of the donation links, so it is correct to remove them. The same was
done on the website three months ago:

node8: require nodejs >= 8.9.0, npm >= 6.4
...
Next version will be Etherpad 1.8. As planned in #3424 , we are going to require
NodeJS >=8.9.0 and npm >= 6.4.
This commit implements that change and updates documentation and scripts.
Subsequent changes will get rid of old idioms, dating back to node < 0.7, that
still survive in the code.
Once migrated to NodeJS 8, we will be able to start working on migrating the
code base from callbacks to async/await, greatly simplifying legibility (see
#3540 ).
Closes #3557

README.md: on install, explicitly instruct to clone the "master" branch
...
The install instructions relied on the default branch being "master" on Github.
This has no longer been the case for some time now.
Let's be explicit, and directly advise new users to put themselves on the stable
branch ("master").

libssl-dev, gzip, python, gcc have never been really needed for Etherpad itself.
They were probably needed back in the day to manually compile nodejs.

security: suggest installing ep_hash_auth to get rid of plain text passwords

In its current form, Etherpad stores passwords for users in plain text in
settings.json. We should at least mention the opportunity of installing
ep_hash_auth to start tackling this problem.
The advice was added in README.md and in settings.json.template
