https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/ProblemReporting#Tentative_Design

does a good job of describing the different levels of detail and
interactivity that might be desirable for problem reporting.

The overlap with a developer-focused workstation might be interesting -
if you are developing software on the system, you probably don't want to
get a crash collection system to get between your crashing app and the
debugger.

But if you are an OS developer / packager, you may find it convenient to
set up your account details once, and have crashes be collected/reported
automatically without asking you every time.

The managed/unattended use cases may not be that important for the
workstation product per se, but are still important to keep in mind.
