The answer is yes-no.

Yes, because it will ease reviewing process. User could check in preferences 
"I know something about programming and internal kernel structure" and he or 
she would review only packages from these two sections. But there is main 
questions to answer - how should DDTSS know, that package is from one section 
and not another? I think that Debian sections (like "utils", "editors" and 
"admin") are too generic. Maybe debtags?

No, because it may hide too much packages from pending review. E.g. I may know 
very little about Java, but I could at least try to review description of some 
Java-related package. In many cases I can see if translation is accurate and 
eventually correct it, all with no knowledge about package itself. It's only 
about specialist terminology which I may not know (and then refuse to review 
translation).

Anyway, I think it is up to you how you include it, if you decide to do so. 
The code is here and it's ready to use :) .

By the way, I forgot about licensing in my last post. I decided to release it 
under public domain, since you can do anything you want with public domain 
code. But it may be any free license.

If you need any help with HTML/CSS/JS, I would try my best to help. Although 
I'm not really JS expert.
