There is currently no automatic way to add or update a backend module on platform-core or platform-complete. The existing method is to make a trivial commit to either platform repo and create a PR which in turn updates and commits the install.json file. This is suboptimal. The exception to this case is if the module is updated in the file install-extras.json.
One possible solution may be to add some capability to the CI which triggers a build of the platform whenever new backend modules are released. I think this trigger would consist of creating a new branch with some kind of commit from jenkins in the appropriate platform repo and creating a PR. The PR would then be merged (if successful) or closed manually. The module's repo config could specify one or more platforms to create the branch in and the trigger would be added to the build pipeline for release jobs.
