When many tags are present it becomes really hard to make sense of what they are. It also becomes hard to select tags when opening a new issue or marking an existing one.
Group labels would allow to organize tags in groups, for example: component: webui, drivers, core, util bugtype: bug, enhancement, security, easyfix, docs etc ...
This would allow to group tags in he selector as well as group tags when showing them in the issue viewer
I could really use something like this, too.
The problem we're having with the FPC trac is that we'd like to use tags both for process ("meeting", "needinfo", "announce") and for content ("clarification", "python").
If we just make tags for everything, they all sort together unless we invent some hack like prefixing the process ones with "0-". Being able to group them all would help, and would alleviate the need for a completely separate system for "ticket status" or something like that.
Being able to visually distinguish process tags from content tags would also be useful, but then there's a separate ticket for choosing the color of tags which I should update.
I'll probably go with prefixing the process tags for now in hope that some other alternative will appear in the future. At least we'll be able to see how workable that is.
