For the web interface, I think no. You will need to pass the
`users=foo` parameter to let it show up.. Otherwise,  the website
interface could become very messy, if everyone adds him/her favourite
tag.

For emacs-debbugs, I think yes! When you type `M-x
debbugs-gnu-usertags`, you get a list of usertags used by the user
with name "emacs", so apparently emacs is using usertags! To list
usertag for a specific user (take "address@hidden" as an
example), the debbugs info page suggests to evaluate the elisp
function `(debbugs-gnu-usertags "address@hidden")` and it
works.

The answer is half yes and half no. What is your idea?
