drupal/drupal, drupal/core: Lets clean-up the mess

[webflo]

drupal/drupal is on Packagist and Drupal Packagist. Both sites have a different understanding of this package, because Drupal Packgist does the automatic parsing of Info Files (and YAML).

Both sites are used in conjuction most of the time. Composer merges the package defintions from both sites.

• Keep 7.* verions of drupal/drupal on Drupal Packagist, the 7.x branch has no composer.json. We need Drupal Packagist to generate one. People need drupal/drupal for their existing D7 workflows.
• Remove 8.* versions of drupal/drupal from Drupal Packagist, the 8.x branches have a composer.json and Packagist handles it just fine.
• Open an issue on drupal.org infrastructure to setup a webhook for drupal/drupal on Packagist.
• Keep drupal/core as in on Packagist. drupal/core is a valid composer package. Its not necessary to mirror it on Drupal Packagist.

What causes the drupal/drupal discrepancy between the two sites in the first place? There should be no additional requirements other than those in drupal/drupal's composer.json', do they? Why does Drupal Packagist not provide recent releases, when Packagist does?
