So users who have enabled autoreporting [3] (ABRT asks for the first

Would it be better if we add a warning there that the reporting process
is only for advanced users and requires Bugzilla credentials?
Our plan was to have this configured during the installation process so
users can configure ABRT to their liking but this is not in place yet.
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.
