I have seen cases on the Internet where Asahi users have been asked to send asahi-diagnose output to the public internet without being informed that the file contains personal / potentially identifying data (username, cellphone serial number (?), locale information, possibly others too?). People are implicitly expected to either not care about the issue, or manually remove personal details from the file before publishing.
I think this is a problem (bug) that should be fixed.
Suggestion:
don't write personal / potentially identifying details in the file
or at least warn the user explicitly when creating the file
Why is the username reported for instance? I'm guessing some bugs could be caused by "weird" usernames (spaces / non-american characters), but couldn't there be heuristics that check for problems instead of publishing the real username, etc?
