I think it is doable since Debian add a release tag for every release
but I can't find the documentation to it.

Beside the technical side, I think it is also a conceptual problem. If
we were to add the `determinism` tag globally, then all of the GNU
projects using <debbugs.debian.org> will be able to use this new tag.
I am conservative towards this, and would rather make the
`determinism` tag be the usertag of `guix-devel@gnu.org`.

What is your idea?
