Thanks for considering me! _*

Application*_

** Do you promise to be polite to bug reporters even if they are rude to you or Ubuntu? Have you signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct?*

Yes, I will always be polite to bug reporters and I did sign the Ubuntu Code of Conduct a few years ago.
*
*** Have you read Bugs/Triage, Bugs/Assignment, Bugs/Status and Bugs/Importance? Do you have any questions about that documentation?*

No questions it is pretty clear and well detailed.
*
*** What sensitive data should you look for in a private Apport crash report bug before making it public? See Bugs/Triage for more information.*

Coredump.gz is a memory dump accessible by the program that crashed. Coredumps contains all sorts of private data to be mined.
Never mark a bug containing a Coredump.gz attachment as public.

Stacktrace.txt (retraced) and ThreadStacktrace.txt (retraced)) could also have sensitive data passed as function arguments
Examples are passwords, things that look like bank account numbers, CSS keys, user names, server names, etc.
*
*** Is there a particular package or group of packages that you are interested in helping out with?*

I'm amenable to help on all packages.
*
*** Please list five or more bug reports which you have triaged and include an explanation of your decisions. Please note that these bugs should be representative of your very best work and they should demonstrate your understanding of the triage process and how to properly handle bugs. For all the bugs in the list, please indicate what importance you would give it and explain the reasoning. Please use urls in your list of bugs.*

os-prober bug resulting in possible FS corruption

I changed the title for something more appropriate that the error log entry that could be vague:

+ os-prober bug resulting in possible FS corruption

Critical --> Causes data corruption

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1546320
crash starting at kernel v3.13.0-72 in timer code
