Description

It seems like it reports the popular tags plugin authors use. Right now the popular tags I get are "admin","post","widget", "Ajax","plugin","posts"... even "wordpress" is there.

I don't know if wordpress.org should simply automatically remove this type of tags, but how plugin authors tag their plugins is the least interesting information to the user. The user probably want to install a plugin which was installed by other people so tag popularity here should be by amount of downloads per tag. There are two SEO plugins in the most popular, but fro the tag cloud you might think that wordpress users are not interested in SEO
