Error reporting tool is mostly a source of spam

Description
Really. Having 7 emails after one day of public alpha, with the generic "Foo Extension had an error" (one of which without even a sender mail), and having to load the error page, copy paste the address, then privately reply, is the worst possible interface to error reporting. We should instead integrate with bugzilla, or have a bugzilla-like interface where people can search for related errors before submitting (or I can mark as duplicate) and most important, where I can reply inline, would be definitely helpful. If this is not possible, at least it should be possible for projects to define a custom "bug report url", so I can direct people to bugzilla.gnome.org/gnome-shell/extensions, together with the other bugs.
