[GNC] gnucash stackoverflow tag

[sunfish62 at yahoo.com]

Just noting that the referenced page was created 15 years ago and states that it has 250 views over that time. The "recent" hot topic is on envelope budgeting, which is a corner use case for GnuCash. And it's 15 months old. 

While it's commendable to increase information flow, I wonder whether this is really worth the time and effort.
