Title:
  tool for fixing a LP bug with a .crash attachment

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apport

  Sometimes, people attach the .crash file to a bug report, which is
  something the retracers cannot handle. The retracers do not even see
  them in the first place, since these bugs are not automatically
  tagged.

  We need a small tool to fix this which uses the existing apport
  machinery. It should probably be integrated into the CLI tool of bug
  124338.

   $ apport-collect --fix-monolithic 12345

  This would:
   - Look for a .crash attachment and download it.
   - Load it into an ApportReport object
   - Resubmit it to the existing bug, change the description appropriately, and set the retracing tags.
