sub-issues sound nice for grouping issues. But I think there could be an even better solution: Make it possible to declare issues to depend on other issues and milestones. That way you can filter issues out that can not be worked on because some more fundamental infrastructure has to be put in place first.

A PR can be linked to an issue. It should be possible to link issues to other issues and milestones.

We already do this by mentioning the #, actually. Well, more to do with PRs mentioned by their backports, but the idea stands.
