That sounds like something people are going to forget to do. Would it be possible to use computers to automate this?
It's software: anything is possible.

As to whether we can automate this **right now**, the answer is: no.
It's a shame that build deps can't be picked up automatically from the 
meson build config, where it's already specified.
What about requiring modules include a buildstream config fragment with 
a well-known name in their repos, much like how DOAP files are 
required, which then gets pulled in by the release team's CI?
That would also enable having a standard Gitlab CI script for the 
per-module CI which also pulls the config in and does a build based on 
that (much like the one that already exists for for building Flatpak 
manifest), and hence also act as a reminder for maintainers to keep it 
up to date when it fails.
