New description:

 another aspect of "how to publish our puppet repos" and how to collaborate
 is how to manage sub-repositories. expanding on the "mono-repo" problem
 discussed in #29387, i have found the following options:

  1. current "monorepo" approach
  2. pure [https://librarian-puppet.com/ librarian] /
 [https://github.com/puppetlabs/r10k r10k]
  3. [https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules git submodules]
  4. [https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/subtree/ git subtree]
 (originally from [https://github.com/apenwarr/git-subtree apenwarr] but
 now merged in mainline since git 2.22)
  5. [https://github.com/ingydotnet/git-subrepo git subrepo]
  6. [https://myrepos.branchable.com/ myrepos]
  7. Puppet itself, with the [https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/vcsrepo
 vcsrepo module] or the
 [https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/6.4/modules_installing.html puppet module
 command]

 i'll add more as i find them here. i should probably make a more detailed
 review of the advantages/inconvenients of all of those...
