Also it should be clarified where new developments take place. This is still a bit unclear to me. Should any new features be developed on the 3.15 and 3.16 branches or only on the master (EPICS 7) branch?

This has not changed, and is mostly unrelated to the recent repository and structure changes:

Any feature should be developed on the branch that it is targeted at.
All applicable changes and fixes are merged up regularly (in the direction of increasing branch numbers).

Which release series a specific feature is targeted at - that is a design decision and depends on a number of factors. In general, the more stable a release series, the less new features it should get.
Currently, a new feature for 3.14 would probably not be accepted, for 3.15 it would need a very good justification and thorough tests. 3.16 would get features if they are closely related to other featured introduced in that release series. Anything else should probably go on the master branches.

Good practice is to use this mailing list for a discussion in non-trivial cases.

Cheers,
