Mark, does you or anyone update the document [*1] for new contributors?
This MDN page still uses mozreview's way, and current mozreview document in
readthedocs has exactly good for new contributors, but phabricator's
document [*2] isn't good for new comer because installation steps for
Windows users isn't enough (Some new contributors uses Windows according to
#introduction channel of IRC).  Should we ask to MDN content team?  Of
course, if arcanist is installed by ./mach bootstrap, it is no problem.
