Please use IPython-dev mailing list we are deprecating IPython-user.
(where did you found the link to this list BTW?)

for your question you need to use notebook extensions. Take a look at
github/ipython-contrib.
it will require custom cell-toolbar to tag cell, and modify the
run-all action to run only the tagged-cells.
