I've been thinking about this, too.

Adding special::automatically-tagged doesn't help much, as it wouldn't
tell which tags are automatically added and which tags aren't.

What I was thinking was keeping all update messages you receive, and
aggregating them by sender; then, I would use a special sender address
to send with autodebtag.  All tags added by autodebtag and NOT by other
senders, would thus be automatically added.

This would also open the road to some control over what gets in (for
example, being able to track bad taggings and putting the sender in a
"verify-first" queue if (s)he often makes mistakes).

BTW, if you want, you can put the server infrastructure in subversion as
well, so that development would not necessarily have to be all on your
shoulders.


Ciao,

Enrico
