Currently, gnome-core (which is the topic being discussed).

No, that's why it's there.

The meta package is called 'gnome', not 'GNOME Desktop'. The answer, as a
question: When you install Red Hat, and you choose the "GNOME" option, do
you just get what upstream defines as the 'GNOME Desktop' release, or do you
get a complete user environment which includes applications for common
tasks?

It's not wildly active as an independent (or amalgamated) project, but all
of this stuff is Debian Desktop related.
