architecture tags for BTS?

Just a random idea: So now that the BTS has these tag things, I think it would be cool if there were tags for the various architectures. People often say [powerpc] or [alpha] or [hurd] in the subject, but tags could probably help porters more, especially if there was a way to search for all bugs
