Just as a side comment: most of the time, the most boring part of
creating SlackBuild for me is choosing these "tags"; so on the opposite
of the OP suggestion, I wouldn't mind even if these completely removed
from the picture.  I wouldn't expect someone to start search for needed
package at SBo site; I'd expect user to accomplish Google search, find a
list of interesting packages, and then comes to SBo site to check which
of these are available there - at least this is what I'm doing when I
look for a piece of software...

On the other side: wouldn't be possible (if not already implemented) for
sbopkg to employ grep, or something alike to search through
README/slack-desc files?
