You already get very different tagging advice depending on whether you
ask on, say, tagging, talk-de, the forum, or the wiki. So I question
whether it's wise to create another mostly isolated group of people who
will start to breed their own, incompatible interpretations of common tags.

Why do we need this? If it's a easy question, then it can quickly be
answered on the regular IRC rooms - shouldn't bee too much of a burden.
If it's one of the tagging issues that need extended discussion, that
discussion should take place where others can participate asynchronously
and where the results are more permanently available.
