I like it very much. One thing we can add to enhance the tag classification is to add an optional PORTTAGS variable where we can define additional tags (not present in CATEGORY and COMMENT) for the port, so that "Maildir" could be for example associated with mail/dovecot. This will require additional work for maintainers, but I think it'll highly improve the searches. -- Alex Dupre
