Bug reports created by Apport may containing a variety of sensible information -- from user names to credit card numbers. If you think that ProcMaps.txt is leaking private information, than don't look at the other files! :-)
Well, jokes apart, all potentially sensible information uploaded is always secured and reviewed by experienced and competent people. When real sensible information are found, they are removed before a bug report is made public. There are well-established procedures used to deal with such cases.

If you would like to have more information about the procedures used and
the people involved, please read the following pages, they are a good
start:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugControl

If you still have suggestions or comments about the procedures and tools
we use, then it's better to continue the discussion on the bugsquad
mailing list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugsquad.
I'm invalidating the bug, as this is really not the right place to
discuss.
