Not answering your questions, but probably related:
I already opened a Bug on bugzilla.redhat.com (#1915238) about the 
CentOS Stream "Devel" repository being empty.
So the situation concerning devel subpackages is currently even worse 
for CentOS Stream 8 than for CentOS Linux 8.

For some reasons the bug can not be viewed by the public. I don't know 
why and it seems that I can not change it. Disclaimer: I have to admit 
that I'm not used to Bugzilla, so maybe I'm just missing the proper setting.
