I think it's a bad default to include the view-lossage in every bug
report. In addition to the obvious risk of leaking private files, many
users are using emacs to communicate via email and IRC; IRC seems
particularly high risk because complete lines are typed together. I
have left the IRC conversation that reminded me to report this bug
intact to illustrate this. It could also happen that the contents of
encrypted files and emails are leaked this way; I guess many users edit
GnuPG encrypted files of secrets like passwords with emacs.
I understand that the user has the chance to review the bug report and
delete private things, but I think there is a good chance that the few
lines of view-lossage will be overlooked in the middle of approximately
300 lines of configuration information.
I'd be fine with some "opt-in" mechanism; perhaps a calling a
hypothetical function "insert-lossage-infomation" could be suggested in
the text.

I can't remember a single bug report in which I found the lossage useful
or relevant. I'd be happy to just remove it. We can always ask for it in
the extremely rare cases where it is needed.

Are you thinking of a reproducible bug? It isn't needed for them. It
is meant to be useful for irreproducible bugs, if the user runs
report-emacs-bug right away.
To make it possible to ask for those data later, they have to be
saved. We could make report-emacs-bug save them in a file
in case they are asked for.

I'd worry a bit about similar issues with writing sensitive information
to disk in clear text. Although this is almost certainly less severe of
a problem than sending the same information to a public mailing list, it
still doesn't seem like a good default to me.
What about a seperate function "report-bug-with-key-log" so that the
user has to consciously make a choice to send this information? One can
of course debate about the name, I would just prefer transparency to
tradition here.
Cheers,
David

I'm saying I can't remember a single case where that happened, in
several 1000 bug reports. I think "accidentally included some private
data" is many, many more times likely to occur. So I don't see the need
for any clever lossage handling.

I think I added the feature. I must have wanted to see that
information sometimes.

It was a long time ago, perhaps such problems were more frequent then.
They are very rare/nonexistent now.

As mentioned earlier, I fully agree. Let's just delete the view-lossage
from report-emacs-bug.

Thanks, but why on the release branch? There shouldn't be behavior
changes and non-bugfixes there...

Because silently including someone's private data in a bug report would
be a bad bug IMO.
