Of course you didn't do anything wrong. It's an excellent tag to let 
people know what the topic is.

It's been stated over and over again by a particular GIMP dev that GIMP 
development works best if people do what they are interested in doing. 
The question is which current GIMP devs other than myself have an 
*interest* in dealing bugs tagged with "Concept: Color Science"?

It would be great if you could find the time to go through the links I 
provided in my post and add the tag as appropriate to any relevant bug 
reports that don't yet have the tag. Someday when GIMP has found another 
developer with an interest in color management and color science, that 
person will find the "Concepts: Color Science" tag very useful.

Best,
