IIRC, the disclosure requirement is in terms of certificates, and the
disclosure responsibility is on the issuing CA.  So you would have one
disclosure per certificate, and the issuing CA would be responsible.

Note that you can end up with multiple parents for the same exact
certificate, but that requires that each parent have the same public key --
so if those parents are owned by different organizations, we would have a
problem!
