Thanks for suggestions, I have changed it now to following:

(defun package-header-ask-keywords ()
  "Ask author for package keywords."
  (let ((keywords '())
        (keyword))
    (while (string-match "[^[:blank:]]"
                         (setq keyword
                               (completing-read "Keywords (RET to quit): " 
(package-header-keywords) nil t)))
      (push keyword keywords))
    (delete-dups keywords)
    (when keywords
      (mapconcat 'identity (sort keywords #'string<) " "))))

And with double key "s p", updated the published information:
