Exactly, see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dooring. Personally when
riding I use the cycle lane as a buffer between parked cars and just ride
outside of the cycle lane. There's been cases of mappers removing the
cycleway=lane tag saying it's unsafe due to the doorzone, but that's wrong
since there is a cycle lane there, so a dedicated tag would help
alleviate this.

That's an interesting idea. They key to note is that this is not usually a
signposted hazard rather comes about due to the position of a parallel
parking lane next to the cycle lane.

cycleway:hazard=doorzone could apply. Though there could be other kinds of
hazards which apply as well and it's unclear how that would work. I still
would learn towards cycleway:lane:doorzone=yes as being my preferred option
though, since you can tag =no as well.
