Unity's Diagnostics subpanel is provided by activity-log-manager-control-center. There's a standalone version provided by activity-log-manager. (For code, See src/diagnostic-widgets.c)

activity-log-manager is mostly about configuring zeitgeist, but GNOME doesn't really use zeitgeist. I think the only reason it's still installed by default is to benefit Unity users.

GNOME's Privacy panel does have an "Automatic Problem Reporting" section to manage sending error reports to Fedora's abrt. (See panels/privacy/cc-privacy-panel.c and privacy.ui)

I think there's a decent chance that a patch to add a compile-time option to enable support for whoopsie (Ubuntu's service) could be merged upstream. I mean Fedora really wants other distros to use abrt but I don't think that has happened yet so it's still a distro-specific feature. See openSUSE where this has been proposed for years: https://hackweek.suse.com/projects/integrate-abrt-to-opensuse (Incidentally, I believe SUSE uses Canonical's apport!)
