Apport retracing service (apport) wrote :

We don't report it for bugs, but for crashes we do, because then we point out possible privacy issues, and show the report before sending it.

If you send core dumps, then these probably have your user name as well, but these get removed after post-processing in the retracers (and nobody can see the bug before, unless the retrace failed; but even in the latter case only a limited number of developers can see it, it's not public).

That said, it's possible to not add the hostname to Uname:, and do some easy string replacement on ProcCwd.
