Yeah I also find multiple issue per package confusing.  With one issue
per package, it is easy to add comments to the issue explaining what has
to change, and to discuss those changes.  The top-level summary can also
be updated to summarize current status.

Right, tags can be used to even further summarize things.

Doable, but I'm not sure that complexity adds anything.

+1 -- that is the responsibility of the main Salsa pipeline, I think.

I hope that we can find some problem to fix in the `litetlog` packaging
when I submit it, arguing for the awesomeness of this effort :)
