UI for reporting bugs on the phone

[Merlijn Sebrechts]

This is a feature request.

A system-wide report-bug gui would be very handy. I'm currently finding a lot of bugs but I'm having a hard time figuring out what packages they belong to and where the bugtrackers are. A report bug or "give feedback" gui would really help this process a lot...

This is highly wanted! At this time, Ubuntu Phone may live or die depending on user feedback and good big reports. But you really make it difficult for users reporting bugs.
- As OP stated, you can't even figure out what the right package is called. (Why is there no 'About' menu for apps, as is well established for desktop applications? It always was my first option for getting the application name.)
- Calling 'ubuntu-bug' from the terminal frequently fails. (I.e., I just tried to report a bug for 'gallery-app'. Give it a try. It fails. Why?)
Please, make it easy for users to report bugs. This is important!

For a positive example how 'about' information can be included, see the uTorch app (http://launchpad.net/utorch). It has an about window that can be reached via the (i) symbol. It shows the applicarion name, version, contact email of the developer and a link to the project's launchpad page. An about window like this should be mandatory for all apps.
