I think that the same model used for section and priority is most sensible.
Maintainers can include this information in their packages, but it can be
added or overridden by a central authority. That way, this information can
be added to most packages much more quickly and efficiently than filing
bugs, and a notification can be sent to the maintainer when they upload a
package for which the tags are overridden.
