I think it won't work, because there are already stacks of packages in
the tree where the keywording order is arbitrary.

Why not put a <maintainernotes> in metadata.xml instead? Much cleaner,
provides much more information, doesn't imply meaning in an existing
field which does not currently provide any information.
