apport-collect is not for reporting bugs, but for updating bugs that
already reported to Launchpad. Perhaps you mean apport-bug or apport-
cli? If you mean apport-cli, it now contains the following function:
351 def open_url(self, url):
352 text = '%s\n\n %s\n\n%s' % (
353 _('To continue, you must visit the following URL:'),
354 url,
355 _('You can launch a browser now, or copy this URL into a
browser on another computer.'))
356
357 answer = self.ui_question_choice(text, [_('Launch a browser now')],
False)
358 if answer == [0]:
359 apport.ui.UserInterface.open_url(self, url)
So a link is presented with will take you to the bug filing form in
Launchpad. Does this address your issue?

Title:
apport-collect does not work on headless servers
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
It is essential that apport-collect works on a headless/non-X
installs in order to report bugs. In this case, apport-collect tries
to use a text-based browser to attempt to login to Launchpad.
I tried lynx, links2, elinks and w3m. With elinks I get the following
message: "Your Page Was Stale" after selecting "continue".
This bug is related to #556927, #645024 and #683337. As these only
concern the functioning of w3m, I would here like to raise the issue
that a proper installation must make sure that a compatible text-based
browser is installed and set as default.
WORKAROUND: Execute the following:
sudo apt-get install w3m
sudo update-alternatives --set www-browser /usr/bin/w3m
