It might be worthwile to prototype this functionality as an
external service.

1. It should be easier to crowdsource the tags definitions, assignments
   and QA and therefore helps to build consistent database faster and
   easier.

2. decouples tagging from maintaining a package, therefore makes more
   community driven and prevents "THAT'S MY PACKAGE, DON'T TOUCH IT YOU
   SCHMUCK" type of quarrel.

3. Classic prototyping benefit - might identify problematic areas for
   implementation.


The downside is the implementation might be more time consuming
depending on architecture. Mostly due to 1. I guess but that could be
handled by using git and pull requests for crowdsource and then the
implementation should be basicly no different from using portage
itself, besides using different VCS.
