Always before submitting bugs you have a command to run to collect all necessary debug info. For example, in Alcatel-Lucent carrier products you do 'admin tech-support' and a file is written to a cf-card which you submit when reporting a bug/problem. In this file all important info about the system is written. For Debian-based systems (and possible others) you have apport-bug(1) which does pretty much the same but also reports a bug. Something similar for Shotwell would be a good thing. Would make it much easier to handle all bug reports.
