It's up to you as the implementor of course. Maybe you could have a list
of "standard" users/tags to offer completion over, but allow arbitrary
input as well.

If you can support the equivalent of this query:

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgindex.cgi?indexon=users

people will be able to browse the users and their tags.

I was just thinking about an explicit query of usertags, I don't think
you need to show them in the default search list.

It seems a bit late now...
