Seems like upstream projects managing app specific captures leads to either
framentation of the capture method, or a lack of scalability (1 app per app to
collect dumps for that app).

Might be better to have the bugzilla maintainers look at xml proxy methods to
forward abrt captured backtraces to specific upstream project logging sites.
