I can see that being a good thing but I'm not sure it got implemented.
abrt-bugzilla has a config file in /etc/abrt/plugins/Bugzilla.conf that
has this::

# your login has to exist, if you don have anyone, please create one
Login =
# your password
Password =

It looks like we (Fedora packager) could fill those in with a bz user
and password pair to give the equivalent of anonymous reporting to users
but have chosen not to at the moment.

<nod>  That makes sense although finding better and better ways to get
the reporter to CC will be good.  Might also want to ask the triage team
if they might want to go through these types of bugs and triage them for
more information and close them if there's no reporter on CC right off
the bat or something.
