A "comma-separated list of (arbitrary) tags" could be trivial,  but
perhaps not very useful, if we make it a String. That would make
auto-assignment (or auto-nosy) harder, but still possible.

To make the tags more useful, we could implement the list as a
Multilink like keywords, with a comma-separated input interface like
those for nosy. Then, the 'arbitrary' part becomes the problem: do we
want users to be able to create arbitrary, tracker-wide tags? (no, we
don't, you might think we do but that'd be mistaken :D).

I think this idea is worth floating in python-dev: if most people want
this I can implement it, but I'd like to keep most components we have
now.
