I don't think there is a working way of reliably doing that. In theory,
most web logs can do "categories", but those are not being used
consistently, and they're also not really visible on planet.debian.org
in a way that lets them be processed automatically.

The situation with web logs is the same as with IRC, as far as I'm
concerned: it's a convenient format for certain kinds of things (much
more so than e-mail), and certainly useful, but all relevant information
must be sent to the mailing lists as well. If some people have a
conversation on IRC that affects other parties, they must inform those
parties, preferably via Debian mailing lists, so that everything is
recorded into our communal memory.
With IRC, I think this works fairly well. We can certainly improve on
the situation for web logs.
