Max tends to go very deeply into details.

For starters, you can just:
1. Rename maint -> bugfix
2. Rename master -> main
3. Set origin to https://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs/org-mode.git (read-only)
4. Set remote for the local main and bugfix branches as origin
5. fetch the latest origin
6. Rebase you local branches onto origin/main and origin/bugfix

I strongly recommend using magit to work with git repos.

Best,
