It's not tagging, it's reassigning, and it affects where bug mails go. I think that if someone reports a bug to bug-gnu-emacs, they expect to see subsequent mails about it appear on that list, so things should generally stay in the "emacs" package. Since both Org and Gnus have separate bug reporting addresses, people who want to can use those channels instead from the start. When something has been reported as an "emacs" bug, I'm not sure assigning it to eg "emacs,gnus" really adds much value, but I figure it doesn't do any harm. > And should we do the same for other external/internal-packages like > cperl-mode? I advise against it. I did more of putting things in packages at the start, and it turned out not to be worth it. It doesn't add much value (eg a subject search is often just as good a way to find relevant bugs), and it makes merging harder. I only do it now when there is a real alternative bug maling list (eg gnus, cc-mode). Even then I'm not sure it adds much. Do you as a Gnus developer find it helps you in any way?
