Of course, perfect documentation must be perfect, but... how big of a problem is this? As long as the New Developers page and the featured projects have their own information clear, what kind of problem do we need to solve? The Phabricator page explains Phabricator and that is fine. Same with the Gerrit page.

https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker&type=revision&diff=2576976&oldid=2566729
should be sufficient, hoping that not too many people end up on random other pages.
