So when OOo crashes, what are the strategies that distros employ here if
any ?

For RH we don't build the crashreporter (as it's basically unusable info
for Sun), but we do configure to enable using it, and replace it in the
install set with a simple replacement that tests for the set of common
problems that historically caused crashes, e.g. nvidia drivers, a11y
enabled, selinux settings and insane local library butchering, and
prompts the unfortunate user to log the supplied text to the RH
bugzilla, and we map the stack back to source with
http://people.redhat.com/caolanm/ooocvs/ooomapstack after throwing out
the nvidia driver using reports

At some stage in the past the ooobuild OOo would spawn off the gnome
gnome bug-buddy, but that's no longer the case is it ?

So do other distros have various solutions here, or just simply crash
out and/or dump core ?

What I'm thinking about aiming at is a shared cross-distro crash
repository where we can auto submit the distro OOo crashes, and the
distros can plug in their various stack mappers, with quick and dirty
gnomebugzilla-alike tooling to merge the duped backtraces together.
