One point of interest here: although Apple's requirements reference the
"Pertaining to Certificates Issued By This CA" section, and the github
issue and email above reference the "Full CRL Issued by this CA" and "JSON
Array of Partitioned CRLs" fields, these are in fact the same thing: those
two fields are the only fields in that section.

I'd hope / suggest that Mozilla and Apple will converge on using the same
language to require that one of those two fields in that section be filled
out for the sake of minimizing confusion.
