I do this in my beta applications and it is incredibly valuable.

I am not aware of any existing implementations, so I built it myself. I'll
store the stacktraces on the phone and upload them to a webserver, where I
have a PHP script which will store the stack trace to a plain text file and
also send me an email with the details.

Some of the stack traces I collected would probably have taken me days to
reproduce myself.
