=== How to change the vocabulary ===
The vocabulary is maintained at https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debtags/vocabulary.git
To change it (add or remove a tag/change descriptions, add/remove a facet) simply change this file and commit it (I am not sure who has write access there). Wait one day for the file to show up in the tagging interface.


=== How to rename a tag ===

As written by Enrico and not yet confirmed:

 * Add the new tag to the vocabulary, wait a day for the site to pick  up.
 * Add the new tag to all packages that have the old tag:
{{{
    $ wget https://debtags.debian.org/exports/stable-tags
    $ tagcoll grep old::tag unstable-tags -i|sed -e 's/$/: +new::tag/' > /tmp/patch
    $ debtags-submit-patch /tmp/patch
}}}
 * Verify on the website that the packages do have the new tag.
 * Remove the old tag from the vocabulary.
