There is already a ignore list, in the source of the perl script. Since it requires SVN access to modify the test anyway I don't see why we don't simply add one more tag that way instead of doing yet more ugly wiki-parsing. I think there's a bit of a difference between things like tiger:* and attribution though, it sounds like a reasonable tag to me...
