I have a few questions regarding the 'new' branching scheme:
1. Is this somewhere documented?

Yes: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Branch-Guidelines

2. Where do bug fixes go? I talked to Peppe regarding this, and according to 
him, bugs should be committed to branch of the version the bug first manifested 
itself. Is this correct, as to my knowledge the 5.3 branch is read-only?

No, 5.3 is still open, so you can submit bug fixes there (*).
And yes, in general, ordinary bugfixes should land in the lowest open branch where those bugs manifest.

At this time this means 5.3, 5.4 or dev, because other Qt 5 branches are closed. Periodically the branches are merged (going up), so in a couple of weeks all other higher-versioned branches will get the fix.

Qt 4 has a different policy -- it does not accept any new feature, and bugfixes can land there if and only if
1) the bug has already been fixed somewhere in Qt 5
2) the bug does not exist in Qt 5

3. Where do new features go?

dev branch.

(*) it just has limited staging, i.e. only Oswald can stage. Be sure to add him to the reviewers once your patch got approved.
