This is the request forum but I think that feature suggestions on http://trac.bbpress.org are more likely to be seen, so I recommend making your pitch there.
oh ok i will go and write it there
The terminology here is too close to “auto-close tags” which refers to the bug in bbpress where it’s not closing markup automatically (try posting < strong > here without a closing tag and you’ll see)
What you mean is auto-suggest tags (which I wish were called categories but the blogophere does love it’s crazy little terminology).
The features you ask for are way outside the core and would obviously have to be a plugin (but don’t look at me, I disable tags on my forums).
Auto closing formatting is being worked on by mdawaffe now I believe.

You could take a look at the Simple Tagging plugin for WP. It has auto-complete and suggestion inside the Write Post form.
Auto closing formatting is being worked on by mdawaffe now I believe.
It’s a single boolean bug (true/false) so I should hope it doesn’t take too long
This is fixed in the latest trunk. I believe, the WordPress tag closing function has been moved across to bbPress.
