I had a similar idea some days ago (well, only an initial and
theoretical idea, no implementation). It's great to see I'm not alone. I
like it very much. One thing we can add to enhance the tag
classification is to add an optional PORTTAGS variable where we can
define additional tags (not present in CATEGORY and COMMENT) for the
port, so that "Maildir" could be for example associated with
mail/dovecot. This will require additional work for maintainers, but I
think it'll highly improve the searches.
