Huh, I think the crash dialog mentioned the reports being public.
Maybe I'm wrong, or this got lost in the first redesign I did.
There are basically two reasons they are public:
- I already had the pastebin set up, and didn't think there would be
so many reports at the time I set it up, so I just used that.
- Sometimes I just dump the URL into an issue without much more
information. If someone wants to help fixing the bug, it'd make
sense for them to be able to see the report. Or in general, it'd be
confusing if reports linked in public issues needed an account :-/
But yeah - given the amount of "real" issues is going down (and
hopefully will stay down when more tests are running), maybe I should
spend more time opening issues with any *relevant* information from
the full report, and making it private.
I also opened an issue:
https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/issues/481
I probably have to set up a separate pastebin for qutebrowser reports.
I guess that'd make sense anyways.

Maybe crash dialog could send the actual crash log into a public
pastebin and possible contact information somewhere else? I don't know
if I was unclear in my earlier message but I don't oppose public crash
logs. I just think email addresses and such would better be kept private.
