I need one certain category’s (and it’s sub-category’s) to have auto-tagging feature. For example… I set up Tags, which can be used for topics in category (for example: iphone, macbookpro). If topic title has text “iPhone” and “MacBook Pro” in it, the tags “iphone” and “macbookpro” would be automatically selected for this topic.

What is the best strategy to get such feature implemented?

Should I go with a plugin? Is it possible to do with a plugin?

Or should I add feature to topic (and add “Topic auto-tagging” to it’s settings) and create a pull request to have it in main branch?
