Shouldn't such tags be in the PKGBUILD and also be available in pacman
for searching? That said you pretty much get all those features if you
put hashtags (like on twitter) into the description of the package.

All that's missing then would be a tag cloud, but that's pretty simple
to set up if the hashtag scheme was used.
