No: approval means copying a tag from the central database to the Packages file. > And if I submit a bunch of tags, some of which are accepted and some > rejected, I won't get any feedback to tell me that I'm misapplying > (eg) the "works-with::unicode" tag? My idea is that tags that are not approved by the maintainer can be automatically removed from the central database. But then there's also another recent idea: allowing maintainers to put tags in the debian/control file. It's easy to create a script that: computes the differences between what's in debian/control and what's in the central database; asks the maintainer for approval; sends the correction to the central database; updates the control file. Easier than creating that web interface. And one can have both: packages that use tags in debian/control (e.g. where the maintainer would like to control the tags) and packages that get the tags via the overrides created using the reviewed tags.
