10 A possible problem with this would be whether much maintainers would be
11 concerned enough to spend their time on this. By spending time thinking
12 up with tags you give to a package, you lose some time working on a bug.
13
14 Adding some quick tags one can think of does "something" when you're
15 busy; but I'm not sure if limited time would yield a good set of tags.
16
17 Crowdsourcing, as brought forward[1] by rich0, could yield a far more
18 rich set of tags; together with a small bit of moderation for quality.
