Just to remind about my +1 for user editable tags.

There is one. In the Components you can do a multiple select and it has Macintosh , Windows as options. I think that setup dates from the Sourceforge days when we didn't have keywords or the ability to add our own fields. Would it make sense to put a request on the metatracker to convert these to keywords now that they're available?

Keywords are not currently editable by users.

Or even a separate OS field with "Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, *BSD, Other" as the options?

It is not uncommon when code written on Unix can affect both MacOS and Windows, so you need to be able to select both.

While there is some Windows and Mac specific code, treating them as separate components seems fairly unintuitive.
