GuidedTour is already installed on MW.org (try https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker?tour=test ). There are no tours intended for MW.org contributors yet, but any MW.org admin can write them. The relevant tutorial is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Guided_tours/Write_an_on-wiki_tour . You may have some guidance on that, and I'm glad to help clarify.
True. Hum, now I'm tempted of following the steps of

with a Guided Tour... :)
GettingStarted may not quite be doable yet. In its current form, it expects new users to start working on simple tasks (e.g. fixing spelling and adding links). I'm not sure that paradigm applies to MW.org, but maybe it does.
We can wait to the extension to be more configurable. I like the idea of first steps anyway, and there is enough to do in the wiki alone. We could group pages in certain categories we could come up with.
Some improvised examples:
"Watch..."
"Learn..."
"Review..."
For instance, I have started playing with Category:New_contributors
