Changeset tags are possible already as far as I know, and the API 
documentation agrees with my memory here: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Tags

I used these e.g. for testing here: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/13543537 (there are the 
rows about creation time, closing time, author and >> tags << (and 
bounding box).

To set these in josm use the corresponding tab in the upload dialog of 
JOSM. Predefined here is usually the created_by tag; and the changeset 
comment from the "default tab" goes to the changeset tags, too.

Peter
