I know what you're getting at, but this reads as if one should add the tag
even if it's contrary to the reporter's wishes.  How about something like:

	If the bug report was via a private channel, please obtain the
	reporter's permission before adding this tag - or, even better,
	ask that the report be posted publicly.
