I cannot tell for sure about the overall amount of bugs in Launchpad, but in my own 25 years of software development i dont see how generally requesting dmesg for each and every bug report would have been necessary or helpful. For my concrete situation and launchpad reports, i can tell that at the same time i havent even got any answer for any bug i reported about thunderbird so far… so its not even looked at by maintainers but available to the whole world. (No complain, theres sure enough to do besides caring for a single users rare issues! Only an observation from my perspective) But yeah, there might be insights that i am lacking that make it a good fit. Im not going to insist in changes if you see it as necessary the way it is. I know what to do to work around it now.

After creating it, I saw that without my confirmations many files with detailed output about my machine, ip and process environments and connected hardware etc have been collected, uploaded to launchpad and made publicly visible without my permission, and without any possibility to remove it again and select myself what I want to disclose.
