where is the problem here, if you want to be a committer you know the rules
and can follow them. I don't see a real problem if you contribute valuable
content to the project. If you should have a problem with the iCLA then it
is your problem.

And by the way new tags will or should  be discussed here anyway and
probably some of the committers will add new approved tags quite fast.
