That seems functional and attractive. I'm curious how you ended up choosing a Task (rather than a Project), and why that task only lists the sub-goals (rather than blocking on them).
That might relate to this documented guideline: "Creating *new* tracking tasks (tasks that "automatically" get resolved when all its dependency tasks are resolved) in Phabricator is discouraged. It is recommended to create a project <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Creating_and_renaming_projects> instead." [1] I would be interested in hearing the history behind that policy so I can understand the rationale.
