http://wiki.debian.org/Debtags/FAQ states that new packages get tagged
automatically. Otherwise i could not imagine why there are so many valid
implemented-in or ui-toolkit tags.
If not i believe the system could/should guess tags by looking at file
extensions or dependencies.

I have filed two bug reports and probably we should discuss things from
now on right there. #708774 has been closed thus i have forwarded it to
Enrico directly.

http://bugs.debian.org/708772

http://bugs.debian.org/708774

One idea is about to warn maintainers about missing debtags, the other
one is to allow them to confirm or request help for new debtags.
