Where does it explicitly state that?

I wonder if we're looking at the same version of the text. The current version includes examples: tags bugnumber [ + | - | = ] tag [ tag ... ] Sets tags for the bug report #bugnumber. No notification is sent to the user who reported the bug. Setting the action to + means to add each given tag, - means to remove each given tag, and = means to ignore the current tags and set them afresh to the list provided. The default action is adding. Example usage: # same as 'tags 123456 + patch' tags 123456 patch # same as 'tags 123456 + help security' tags 123456 help security # add 'fixed' and 'pending' tags tags 123456 + fixed pending # remove 'unreproducible' tag tags 123456 - unreproducible # set tags to exactly 'moreinfo' and 'unreproducible' tags 123456 = moreinfo unreproducible So, 'tags 269115 +patch +upstream' as you tried is a syntax error: you should use 'tags 269115 + patch upstream' instead.
