It's not new. But it's just a field you fill out, doesn't do any automatic
linking with anything.

I'm not sure what you mean here. But if you fill out that metadata link on
the layer then it'll include that in the capabilities in GeoServer

Yeah, it's not a great link, they never made really readable links, so it's
just the CSW call. But an example is:
http://demo.geonode.org/geonetwork/srv/en/csw?outputschema=http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd&service=CSW&request=GetRecordById&version=2.0.2&elementsetname=full&id=7bbcae0b-37ba-46f1-8293-3bb5598d7964

We've talked about doing some nice direct GeoNetwork/GeoServer thing where
they communicate directly together, but no one's implemented. In our
GeoNode project we do keep the two in sync, but we abstract out the UI for
both, so using Django is the only way to edit the service properties for
either. It's nice because it keeps the links between the two right, and
also has their abstract, keywords, etc. stay the same. But we use python to
do the coordination, using the service interfaces of both (CSW transactions
and RESTConfig), so we can't easily incorporate it in to GeoServer.

We decided to do that in GeoNode. I suppose one could build a java metadata
editor that talked CSW.

Nope, for now you have to keep them in sync yourself.
