There isn’t, as far as I’m aware of. The process is to create forks for
each repo, and separate PRs, and in the wpt PR, just note that it depends
on PR from the wpt-tools fork.

There is not, as far as I know. Of the top of my head, I guess the way it
would need to be handled is:

  1. In your wpt PR, you would need to edit the .gitmodules file to point
     to your fork of wpt-tools.

  2. After both the PRs are reviewed, the wpt-tools PR would need to be
     merged first.

  3. Finally, the wpt PR, before merging, would need to be updated to point
     to the updated canonical wpt-tools rather than your fork.
