Reporting bugs is an interactive process, so I think you would need
some kind of UI listing pending bug reports, so that later on you can
choose when to complete each one.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker covers the error tracker only. It
does not cover the use of Apport to report bugs.

That depends on what the access point would be for that list of
pending bug reports.
