Thanks for the advice!

Actually, the first ticket I attacked (#717960, natural sorting) /is/ 
one of my pet peeves - I know fully well that those provide the best 
motivation :-)

Another one of my itches is detailed in #716598 (make tag names 
semi-insensitive).
I had a very quick glance at it earlier on during my lunch break - it 
seems feasible, but looking at the way the tag "tree" is handled I 
suspect it's not trivial as it sounds and it could be a couple of days 
of work - e.g., I still am not really sure about where the various entry 
points for new tags are.

I'll probably get to play with it a bit this weekend, I'll keep you 
posted if I get anywhere /or/ if I get really stuck :-)
