Hello folks,

refining summary to reflect the current state.

I suggest you really clarify your feature request.
Put up some detailed definitions and requirements.

Generally spoken, by providing an upload feature you're essentially implying
that someone will take care of it.

I seriously doubt this will work out in reality.
The upload site will turn into a dump site for gazillion crash reports (with
many being useless) and no one is really going to look at all of them.

The only feasible way to tackle a large influx of crash dumps would be to write
a sophisticated piece of software that automatically analyses the crash
reports, looking for common/predefined crash patterns, doing some prerequisite
validation (Wine version, prefix) etc.
This would result in further pre-defined/automated/scripted actions.

But again ... whom does this help?

Regards
