While I tend to agree, I do see a use case for the separation - multiple
pull requests for a single issue, if a fix involves changes to multiple
products.

We currently often avoid the overhead of cloning the issue, and just attach
all patches in the same report (say, a gsettings-desktop-schemas patch and
the settings consumer, mutter/gnome-shell). That assumes that whoever
applies the patches knows where the different bits go, and linkified commit
hashes get messed up for non-matching products.

That said, going from a attached-patches-only workflow to a
branches+pull-requests-only workflow looks like swapping a toolbox full of
hammers for a toolbox full of screwdrivers - the current workflow gets
awkward with bigger patch sets, while pull requests add overhead that's
fairly pointless when dealing with just a couple of patches (most issues
really) ...
