I don't think this is that big a hurdle, and it doesn't happen often.

What would be simpler? We'd still need to track releases of each module, as
not all of them always get released at the same time.

You can view all the bugs in the openstack-puppet-modules top-level project
https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-puppet-modules

I don't have strong feelings either way, but I'm not sure I see the current
way as broken enough to change. There is a top-level project for these
subprojects (https://launchpad.net/openstack-puppet-modules). You can
create a bug for one project and then add other projects to the bug, so
having one ticket that links to multiple modules is possible.
