Request: filter scores by female composer

Hello all!

One of my groups is doing an all-female composer concert. I've been looking for scores, and it's clunky to do this on IMSLP currently for this purpose: if I want, for example, to look for Classical pieces for choir written by women, I need to either look at all Classical pieces for choir and then look up the composer names, or to open every single female classical composer page and then go filter their pieces for choir.

I don't know how best to implement this, but maybe a "by female composer" tag? (also "by female arranger" and others like that) That would apply automatically to scores associated with a female composer? Then the category walk feature would make it much easier to do a search like the above.

Thoughts?

This is a nice request, in fact when you create a composer's page you have to enter the genre, so I think it's easy to use this information to filter the results.
