If I remember correctly Fernando was working on integrating a system
called Google crashpad or a very similarly named system. I could not find
it by that name on the Internet but I remember it was located on  
code.google.com.

Anyways it was supposed to accept the traces, identify what OS they come  
from
and what program/library versions were in use on the reporting system, and
craft a stack trace with debugging symbols based on that information.
It was also supposed to detect and count duplicates.

But alas I have no idea at what point Fernando left it behind.
He can judge best how much work woul be involved to actually
make crahs.gnome.org working.
