This seems to be a matter of opinion; membership seems like the correct
terminology to me: the child tickets are indeed forming an implicit
group around the parent tickets.

At this stage, may I suggest that you raise this upstream now, because
I think changing the terminology of the system in that way is likely to
be controversial and it's not the sort of change I would want to make in
Debian without there being general agreement in the wider community
(and given I don't see the need for change, I'm not the right person to be
taking the debate upstream).

The rt-users list is probably a good place to start:

Cheers,
Dominic.
