[Bug 1369223] Re: Crash report doesn't give return a link to the report sent, nor give any feedback of success/failure

This looks most like a dup of bug 994921.
See also How can I track a bug that caused a crash and was reported via apport / whoopsie? (http://askubuntu.com/questions/140379/how-can-i-track-a-bug-that-caused-a-crash-and-was-reported-via-apport-whoopsie)

'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/app.crash' (and even more so, 'apport-cli -c /var/crash/app.crash') should still allow manual bug filing in stable releases

Title:
Crash report doesn't give return a link to the report sent, nor give
any feedback of success/failure
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Not sure Apport is the correct package.
When something crashes, e.g. Xorg, a popup appears informing of that
and offering the possibility to report the error.
However, the issue is that:
1 - it does not give you the slightest feedback of whether the error was reported succesfully. Immediately after clicking on Report, the window closes and syou see nothing else (or you see the reporting questions, such as that below, but never any progress information about the reporting process).
2 - it doesn't provide a link to any publicly accessible information
about the reported error. I don't know if such public information is
available, if it is not then it should. I don't know if a bug is
opened in Launchpad or any other public bugtracker. If it is not then
it should. Actually it should definitely offer the possibility to
login on Launchpad and file a launchpad bug report (in addition to
whatever it already does) if one has an account.
3 - It even goes to the extreme point of nonsense that, if the crash
is in Xorg, it asks you the usual question that ubuntu-bug would ask:
whether you are willing to do additional debugging work if asked by
the developers. Well, suppose I say Yes: how the hell are developers
supposed to contact me?? I don't think my email is stored anywhere in
the system, so unless it opens a browser and gives me an opportunity
to log in on Launchpad how does it know?
