Sure.  I didn't write the tag tasks but it should be straightforward to add
exclusion filters.

Add it as a feature request to trac so it doesn't get lost.  I've been
working on API 0.6 support but other than that there isn't too much work
outstanding.  Hopefully I can get to it fairly soon.  Alternatively you can
send me a patch.
