[plt-scheme] planet: help submitting bugs & a question

From: Robby Findler (robby at cs.uchicago.edu)

New feature:

In the latest (SVN) version of DrScheme (not yet in the nightly
builds), you will see a little blue icon next to a contract violation
error message that blames a planet package. Click it and you will be
taken to the ticket submission web page with a number of the fields
filled in, extracted from the bug report.

---Question:

Drscheme could also log these contract violations, anonymize them[*]
and periodically submit them as tickets to trac by itself. Is that
something that people would appreciate? Or would such an automatic
submission be a privacy problem (or some other kind of problem)?

Thanks,
Robby

[*] it could remove any values that triggered the error from them
error message so that functions that, say, accept credit card numbers
as their arguments wouldn't trigger credit card information being sent
in the bug report.
