inspiration from l10n would bring

a11y
    This bug is relevant to the accessibility of the package.

but maybe we can expand more, for instance:

a11y
    This bug is relevant to the accessibility of the package, i.e. the
    use of the package by people with disabilities (blindness, hearing
    impairment, etc.)

I am also wondering whether the BTS would be able, when the tag is set
at bug submission, to automatically Cc the debian-accessibility list?
