I think that RFS is already a well-known acronym for
Request-For-Sponsor, maybe a RFT (Request For Tool)? or something not
already used.
Anyway, if you think this tag needs to be added to WNPP reportbug
template, I think WNPP maintainers (added in CC) need to be involved
in the discussion and let them decide about its inclusion as
"official" wnpp tag.

Mh, well, but what ML would be good for such request? maybe debian-devel@l.d.o ?
Personally, I think this is interesting.
Kindly
