Yes, but those categories are quite orthogonal to the problem of finding a patch
suitable for a new contributor or attract attention of other groups of people.
Note that those tags wouldn't be a sub category, just a parallel thing where a
patch could have 0, 1 or n predefined tags, with the search bar allowing easy
access to the combination you want.

Agreed, but it doesn't seem to help apart from being a good indication that
this is likely not a good choice for a new contributor.
