This actually sounds pretty good for our use case.  When can we have
it? :)

FWIW, this kind of solution would make me very happy since it will solve
some of our other outstanding issues, and will provide a path forward
for us (eg. if we can tag something with "linaro-infrastructure" team
tag at the same time, and we can get to the page for that tag as well,
we'd get so much closer to the dashboards we also need - ha :).

These would be great to have.

This brings another consideration for me: who can add the tags, and who
can remove them? Just maintainers/drivers?  If anyone can do it, we'd be
worried when we try to use them to manage our releases (which is why we
are using milestones atm).

The other thing I'd really like to see is ability to combine tags as
well, i.e. <projectgroup>/+tag/2011.12/infrastructure — I understand
that may have other implications (like performance and such; of course,
the URL example above is nothing but an example).

This does not have to be there in the first go, and we'd be interested
in investing resources in allowing that if the infrastructure is such
that it provides for it.

Mockups also show nothing about how the tags are created, so I hope
that's going to be easy enough and will fall nicely into our release
management activities.

Cheers,
Danilo
