Hi Ihor,

thanks for your feedback. I attached a patch, but I'm not sure why you said "all but the last line".
That last line for me was (org-set-tags tags), which proved important as otherwise the tags were not
set in the buffer.

Anyways, please find the patch attached. Feedback is welcome, particularly on naming the auxiliary
function (org-input-tags does not seem like a great name).

I didn't sign any papers yet, but as this is just a minor refactoring without new logic, I'm not
sure whether it would be required.

Best
Christian
