Alternatively one could be prompted to add a tag with the name of the software into a field on the posting form, and as one types, the list of already mentioned software could be activated to recognise the tag (this way typing mistakes could be avoided that would create duplicates), so one could just select a tag from the list (or add a new one). Once a tag would be selected, the post could be related to existing posts with that keyword.
