I mean, having a crash report and being able to ask the reporter for

communication with the reporters,...

Well that's all true, but I'm afraid FAF is what we're left with, since reporting to Red Hat Bugzilla is already barely useful nowadays due to the confusing API key requirement. I think very few users are still willing to report bugs with ABRT. We should probably just remove the report to Red Hat Bugzilla functionality.

To make manual bug reports useful again, we should focus on (a) reporting directly to upstream (e.g. GNOME GitLab), and (b) reporting to the new Fedora Forge, since presumably we'll want to start tracking downstream bugs there instead of on Red Hat Bugzilla.

We'd need some configration mechanism to specify where the bug reports for each package go, since some upstream developers won't want to receive ABRT reports from Fedora, and some Fedora packagers might prefer to receive them downstream rather than upstream.
