I'm happy about every detailed backtrace I get, but I would be even more happy if users contributed a tiny bit more and added comments to their tickets and responded to NEEDINFO queries and gave feedback on Test Updates. ABRT has lowered the hurdle so much that people dump generated reports into bugzilla but otherwise they appear like /dev/null and only show rarely that they care about a package.
Requests to report the crash upstream usually also fall on deaf ears (when all they'd really need to do is copy&paste the generated text and a link to the attached backtrace into the upstream bug tracker).
Without some mechanism to either make ABRT file bugs directly upstream or automatically forward them (in a way which keeps the reporter in the loop, in the hope that they might actually care!), it's basically useless.
There's no way I can fix the dozens of crashes in Gnash myself.
