About tags...
I was wondering if tags which refer to almost the same aspect of sentences are meant to be combined into one tag. If so; who is responsible for that?
There seem to be many equivalent pairs, for instance: job and profession. I believe they should be merged. Is this a right approach for such situations?
Similar tags have been merged before, but this was mostly done by hand, see:

Well semi-automatically, in the way that I didn't change the Tag one by one,
so to answer the first question
Simply report them here, I will use it as my todo list ^^
These are the ones that came to my attention at first glance. Some of them may not be classified as duplication, but I added them anyway for your consideration. If I come across more of them I'll add them later.

i think "proverbaro esperanta" relates to the source of these proverbs; they should be tagged both "proverbaro esperanta" and "proverb".
the same goes for "indian proverb" and "... japanese proverb" (which should be shortened of course); they should get both their tag plus "translated proverb".
In a meta-tag system i would prefer "proverb" to be the most general, having "original" and "translated as sub groups, who on their own have subgroups like the ones mentioned above.
I agree with you on all three points. :))
