I tried to email to <nwv@acm.org>, but email failed.

So I emailed here. If this is wrong, I'm sorry about this in advance.

Recently I migrated web browser bookmarks into your writted Emacs extension
webjump.el. It's really great. I like it very much. I used to use another
extension "engine-mode.el".

I found webjump need one improvement for bookmarks searching. It's "tags". Hope
can webjump can support tags searching. Currently webjump only search bookmark
names is very limited for filtering lot of bookmarks.

User can add tags in bookmarks definition like this:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq webjump-sites
      '(;; Search Engines
        ("Google" . ([simple-query "google.com" "https://www.google.com.tw/search?safe=off&q=" ""]
                     ("search engine" "google")))
        ("DuckDuckGo" . ([simple-query "duckduckgo.com" "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=" ""]
                         ("search engine" "privacy")))
        ("DogeDoge" . ([simple-query "dogedoge.com" "https://www.dogedoge.com/results?q=" ""]
                       ("search engine")))
        ("Blekko" . ([simple-query "blekko.com" "https://blekko.com/#?q=" ""]
                     ("search engine" "vertical")))
        ("Bing" . ([simple-query "bing.com" "http://cn.bing.com/search?q=" ""]
                   ("search engine" "Microsoft")))
        ;; Q&A
        ("Stack Exchange" . ([simple-query "stackexchange.com" "http://stackexchange.com/search?q=" ""]
                             ("Q&A" "programming")))
        ("Stack Overflow" . ([simple-query "stackoverflow.com" "https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=" ""]
                             ("Q&A" "programming")))
        ("Quora" . ([simple-query "quora.com" "https://www.quora.com/search?q=" ""]
                    ("Q&A")))
        ))
#+end_src

The upper code is just an example. Of course you have your design for the data
structure for webjump.

Hope to see this improvement.

Yes, this is the right place.

I suspect that the best way to get this feature is if you write
it yourself.  We'd be happy to accept a patch for it from you.
You might also decide to be the maintainer of that file.

Great, I'd like to take a try.

Hmm, this is Emacs built-in package, do I need to do some special work to
contribute? Or just normal as I contribute Emacs GNU ELPA? Because reading GNU
websites and words bumped my brain. I try to avoid complex stuff.
