Actually thinking about it some more.  Yeah, I can create arbituary tags
today.  But they somehow automatically go on the webUI.  Probably would want
to skip that.  Need to query for the tag values.  Would be interested in
creating random ones through an api too. So..

* skip tag from showing up on webUI
* ability to query for tag and its value (ie bugzilla->1234)
* ability to add random tag for tracking purposes (build-id->5678)
  - doesn't necessary come through email, but through api??
* display tags on patch webpage

Thoughts?
