For metag, see the patchset intro for a brief (hopefully !marketing) intro and links to documentation. Meta is the marketing name, metag is generally used in code which reduces ambiguity with the word meta - tbh I'm not certain whether metag is short for metagence or means something else, but it's been that way for years now.

Where would you suggest?
Some other arches link to the linux-$ARCH project homepages in Kconfig help text which makes sense as that can then link to various documentation and be more easily kept up to date. Not all arches have a big project around them like that though.
