Hi.
I'll avoid quoting a whole bunch of stuff and get straight to the
point:
I agree with all the points Bastien raised.
Furthermore, I think it would be best if the problem will be reported
*automatically*.
You can allow the user to comment on the problem if they have anything
to add directly from the notification ("The problem has been reported.
[comment]"). The "comment" button would open a simple screen in which
they'll be able to comment, but there shouldn't be a "progress" screen
for comment submission - it should be done in the background. There's
no real reason to make the user watch a progress screen when they
report a comment, and no real reason for them to close the dialog
manually.
That sounds good. I will try to implement it.
Another thing worth considering is having a button in the notification
to re-launch the program that crashed if it was a desktop app and not
a background service.
I have filed an upstream ticket for it:
https://github.com/abrt/abrt/issues/833
Users should be able to disable this kind of automatic reporting in
the privacy panel in Settings.
I have asked Bastien Nocera for a guidance on this:

Ideally you want the reporting process to be un-intrusive and to
take
little to no time from the user.
If you make the user wait more than a minute just to report an issue,
they'll not do it again ever.
Thank you for your great ideas!
