Quoting https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport
"The automatic crash interception component of apport is disabled by default
in stable releases for a number of reasons:
1. Apport collects potentially sensitive data, such as core dumps,
stack traces, and log files. They can contain passwords, credit card
numbers, serial numbers, and other private material.
This is mitigated by the fact that it presents you what will be
sent to the bug tracker, and that all crash report bugs are private by
default, limited to the Ubuntu bug triaging team. We can reasonably
expect developers and technically savvy users, who run the development
release, to be aware of this and judge whether it is appropriate to file
a crash report. But we shouldn't assume that every Ubuntu user of stable
releases is able to do so. "
So only the ubuntu bug triaging team can see such reports by default,
then, if they are free from sensitive information, one of the triaging
team will set them as public.
