No (I described it in an email some time ago, but it's not on any wiki)
If you have an idea for where we could document it, I will then push other 
module maintainers to also write up the git workflow they want to see, since I 
myself have the same question in other modules.

I think community.kde.org would be the right place (it's internal, it doesn't 
affect KDE app devels outside of git.kde.org), but all I can see about git is
http://community.kde.org/Sysadmin/GitKdeOrgManual
which is more about the technical setup.

Maybe start a new webpage at the toplevel of community.kde.org?
GitWorkflowForEachModule? :-)
