>As it currently stands, there's no check (manual or automatic) in place to ensure requests actually get closed when the package is added. I wouldn't be surprised new package PRs are merged without the author realising there could be a request to close.

And how does your "solution" address this? 
Strongly disagree with this. Having the requests as issues in the same repository is very convenient, and like Duncaen said, you can always use filters.
