Well, it'd probably go in kdeaddons/noatun-plugins, but you'd need to get 
an account, so that you can maintain it.  Given all that you've submitted 
lately, I hope that won't be a problem for you.

The tag loaders predate Tron, that's why they had the default they had=  
When SPL was the only option, the only way tag information could be 
displayed was in the song title.  Now, though, we have two playlists (Tron 
and Liszt) that display tag information in a more organized way.  So, I 
changed the default to Title, from [Artist] - Title.

One could always make a UI that understands tag info, in the same way Tron 
does.  In fact, feel free to submit a patch that puts tag info into the 
Excellent status bar. :-)

Don't think of a bug as a problem.  Think of it as a call to action.
