What if you changed it so those two settings had a list of tag groups, instead of just a list of tags? If you’re using it for ticketing like @tobiaseigen is, those lists could get large fast, and adding a new `status-` tag but forgetting to add it here would result in it getting shown to the public.

(I’m assuming that making a new tag group is less common than adding a new tag within a group.)
