The gist thing isn't a good solution at all. You're now dependent on github to be up to receive crash reports (...) both when they're generated and when you want to look at them.

Furthermore the user doesn't have an option to first look at the report before uploading it to the gist server. That's not very friendly.

If the only reason you use gist is because you don't know how to attach a file to an email message, I think you should just spend a bit more time on it.

Furthermore, gists are public. How long until someone reports a crash in /home/me/tmp/coretools-2.1.3/src/lesbians_and_horses?
gists are public

The user has the option to create the publicly or privately.

He's creating an anonymous, private gist. The only way people are going to know about your lesbians_and_horses folder is if you pass around that url.
Yes, you are right. Sorry; too late to edit my post, sadly.

I'd still prefer if no mention of the lesbians_and_horses folder would leave my computer, though.
