Yep, part of the proposal is to change that - it's not mentioned in
the proposal page since the current process of blocker bugs seems to
work.  Maybe not the most efficient thing in the world, but if it
ain't broke....

Great question, I've never seen this actually used.  Most of the time
it's in NEEDINFO(reporter).  I guess some logic could be used, I'm not
sure of the how good tag support is in the XMLRPC API.  Maybe someone
smarter than me could comment.
