I also don't feel it's very serious since for example SSIDs are generally broadcasted, but this is still an issue, and I rather give the users a way to not add this information (with a strong recommendation to still add it):

    try:
        response = ui.yesno("You can also include scan results and "
            "configuration parameters which may greatly help in diagnosing "
            "the issue you are seeing. However, it may contain sensitive "
            "information. Do you want to include these?")

        if response:
            report['Gconf'] = command_output(['gconftool-2','-R','/system/networking'])
            report['Keyfiles'] = command_output(['ls -l','/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/'])
            # nm-tool happens to give a good snapshot of the client's state, so try to capture this
            report['NMTool'] = command_output(['nm-tool'])
    except:
        pass

I guess the exact wording can be reworked but the idea is there. Marking In Progress since I should be uploading this shortly.
