Some software such as fastlane (ios/android automation in ruby) provide crash-reports in Markdown-template almost ready to be pasted into the ticket. Includes things such as: - backtrace (harder in C/efl, but still manageable in some cases) - OS version (ie: /etc/os-release) - version of some libs (we could use the path to libs linked into crashed process, usually they include the minor soname, which helps) and of course some kind of questions: - what were you doing when the crash happened? - can you reproduce the crash? If yes, please list steps I don't remember if it was fastlane, but some software I've used even did a REST call to search for similar issues (issues with similar backtrace, not sure how they implemented that).
