Stupid idea, pagure offers the possibility to "tag" projects. Could this be
useful?
We could then export this list of tags via a cron job and reintegrate this data
where we then want/need it.

Pros:
- support multiple tags (comma delimited)
- in the hands of the packager (cf Kevin Kofler's email)
- not in comps

Cons:
- it's a free-form input field, so packager could add anything and everything
  including things we do not care about.
  -> So maybe we need a list of categories we care about somewhere and we only
  integrate packages having one or more of these categories and ignore all the
  other ones
