Well, maybe Xapian is enough?

Well, if there is a tag and it is documented in the manual, then I think
it is easier.  For example, assume ’moreinfo’ is this tag.  And consider
I am interested in looking for some packages but I am hesitant about the
name and let say I think it is phylogeny.  Then:

    https://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=moreinfo+phylogeny

and I find ’mrbayes’ which is the one I wanted.  So I resume.

Well, instead of ’rejected’, I propose ’unfinished’ or ’incomplete’ or
reuse ’moreinfo’ for that.  I feel the ’rejected’ as “no way!” when it
is not the idea.

Cheers,
