I was chatting tonight with the guy who maintains the Cooperative Bug
Isolation Project:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~liblit/sampler/
His work has helped me a lot with Rhythmbox - certainly he's found some
important bugs.
I wonder if it might make sense to include something like this in
Fedora.
It's a really well done project - they have it so users can easily
opt-out (certainly we could change the default to opt-in), and even
include a tray icon. They've thought about privacy a lot:

It does kind of go along with Fedora's philosophy of being a proving
ground. Anyways, not something to do lightly of course, but it's a
pretty cool project, and the main author writes *fantastic* bug reports.
