Partly it depends on the journal's production workflow and what they're willing to give you. I'm not a big fan of archiving whole issues in a single item, but sometimes that's how I get 'em.

I suspect the way we're going to go is to write a small Manakin Aspect that groups items based on dumb string-matching in a specific Dublin Core field (probably relation.ispartof). There's almost certainly a better way, but we think this should be reasonably feasible and effective. I don't have an ETA, but if you're interested, ping me in late July or early August and ask if we have code yet.
