So users who have enabled autoreporting [3] (ABRT asks for the first time) are not subjected to the reporting process until they specifically hit Report in gnome-abrt application.
Would it be better if we add a warning there that the reporting process is only for advanced users and requires Bugzilla credentials?
Our plan was to have this configured during the installation process so users can configure ABRT to their liking but this is not in place yet.

does a good job of describing the different levels of detail and interactivity that might be desirable for problem reporting.
The overlap with a developer-focused workstation might be interesting - if you are developing software on the system, you probably don't want to get a crash collection system to get between your crashing app and the debugger.
But if you are an OS developer / packager, you may find it convenient to set up your account details once, and have crashes be collected/reported automatically without asking you every time.
The managed/unattended use cases may not be that important for the workstation product per se, but are still important to keep in mind.
