On this topic, is it reasonable to discard crash data some consistent
amount of time after the bug in question is fixed, or to allow the
reporter to remove it manually?

I could see someone trawling through the bug reports, looking for
passwords and such.  I don't think it would be good to have someone's
system cracked just because they submitted a bug...
