Shouldn't the same change also be made in readme.txt?

Good question, they are definitely not the same texts, the txt seems to have a few more passages and probably hasn't been updated for a while.

No, sorry, I was wrong, in the 6 branch it is also written on 6 so it is current.

The How to get a working installation from the source section is also not in the txt-file.
I don't think it's the idea that they are identical, but I can't say for sure. I think that since it is primarily intended to make collaboration here on Github easier and transparent, the .md file is definitely not wrong.
