Ok, this is what I did so far:

* cleaned all stale tags (tags without a tagged item)
* transformed all tags to lowercase (now it's done automatically)
* trimmed spaces before and after tag strings (now it's done automatically)
* added a new RPC method: http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/RPC2/

I'll check the autocomplete on the website, but this would be motstly
unuseful in any case, the tags must be defined inside the metadata in
the zip package, they are not meant to be defined on the website.
