I was testing this on Hirsute today and was nothing was happening when I clicked the "Report" button. I then ran update-notifier with --debug-misc and discovered the following in the output:

** (update-notifier:2610): DEBUG: 15:44:59.075: crashreport_check
** (update-notifier:2610): DEBUG: 15:44:59.304: crashreport found running apport now
** (update-notifier:2610): DEBUG: 15:44:59.304: fire up the crashreport tool
** (update-notifier:2610): DEBUG: 15:44:59.417: no pkexec for system reports under wayland

So it seems like this may not be working because hirsute is now using wayland. That being said there is weird behavior when not using wayland. After killing xeyes I instantly receive a crash report but clicking "Report" does nothing. However, later on when update-notifier checks for a crash report and a dialog is raised clicking "Report" does behave as expected so perhaps the fix is actually incomplete for Xorg and not working for wayland.
