Yes, this idea was not to remove the need for a good subject line! :-)
It's just intended as a quick and easy way to ping select sub-groups /
committees that a particular thread requires their attention while keeping
everything on one list - eg. for attention of.  This list may not be heavy
traffic, but I'm sure this is not the only list we're all on!  It's a quick
way for members of any particular committee to prioritise things that may
need to actively respond to -eg. if I'm joining infra then I can filter LGM
messages into a mailing list folder as now, unless they have [infra] in the
subject.

People who avoid picking the right tag will just get a slower / no response
- it's usefully self-correcting!

on the other side, i can understand why somebody would want to send

Should probably be able to add the tags as part of the forward too?
Although what does the list software do with forwards from non-subscribed
addresses?
