Comment (by kkoyan):

 This is what I originally thought of using, but (no offence to the great
 work and intentions of Johnpbloch), it is a security issue having code
 that goes through the bottleneck of a single developer. Aka, if the owner
 of that github account had bad intentions, they could modify core code
 before shipping it.

 Currently to overcome this risk we have our own registry that does the
 same thing and delivers a package of wordpress that we can use to install
 via composer: https://p4-composer-
 registry.greenpeace.org/#greenpeace/planet4-wordpress-upstream
 Again, it is great for us, but for any third party it is an untrusted
 source.

 But I am looking into stopping our own registry alltogether and just use
 wpackagist and packagist for everything. (in which case a package from the
 core would be the one I would trust to use).
