Ain’t we using that already for many years?

discourse/discourse/blob/ee5bdb343683f0cc2cfc44528cc18d1d77a81154/app/views/topics/show.html.erb#L37


      
                    <a href='<%= "#{Discourse.base_url}/tag/#{tag.name}" %>' class='discourse-tag' rel="tag"><%= tag.name -%></a><% if i < @tags.size - 1 %>, <% end %>
                  <% end %>
                </div>
              </div>
            <% end %>
          </div>
          
          <%= server_plugin_outlet "topic_header" %>
          
          <%- if include_crawler_content? %>
            <div itemscope itemtype='http://schema.org/DiscussionForumPosting'>
              <meta itemprop='headline' content='<%= @topic_view.title %>'>
              <% if @topic_view.topic.category.present? %>
                <meta itemprop='articleSection' content='<%= @topic_view.topic.category.name %>'>
              <% end %>
              <meta itemprop='keywords' content='<%= @tags.map(&:name).join(', ') %>'>
              <div itemprop='publisher' itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">
                <meta itemprop='name' content='<%= SiteSetting.company_name.presence || SiteSetting.title %>'>
                <% if application_logo_url.present? %>
                  <div itemprop='logo' itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject">
                    <meta itemprop='url' content='<%= application_logo_url %>'>

Is the new thing here only the profile part?
