Don't you think you can add something about the "repository-url" parameter in the packagist page ?

Yes, it would be great. Unfortunately it's not easy with current state
of Packagist. That's why the Packagist package is abandoned and our
documentation describes recommended way to install phpMyAdmin using
composer:

http://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html#installing-using-composer

The whole problem is that we do some postprocessing on release time,
what can not be achieved with Packagist - it can only take git
repository as is. See
https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/11508 for more details.
