You have to work harder to do the real research to find such key
historical documents than just linking to the toplevel of the current
repository, but I think this is an excellent idea.  And most likely many
projects that have migrated from elsewhere (not the ones from scratch that
did not migrate from any existing codebase) could volunteer relevant links
if asked politely enough ;-)
