I created contrib/export2collection.lua that adds a new exporter, file to
collection.  The selected images are exported, then imported back into the
collection and grouped with the original images.  All tags, except the
darktable ones, are copied over as well as any ratings.  The pull request
has been submitted to get it into the script repository.  In the meantime
you can get it from
https://github.com/wpferguson/lua-scripts/blob/export2collection/contrib/export2collection.lua

Regards,

Bill
