I disagree, there is no value in prompting, whether you're using a reportbug function or not. At least, there is absolutely no value in prompting for checks of sensitive data, the user should either decide they don't want to transmit possibly sensible at all, or review/edit the to be transmitted data after getting warned about it. Other use-cases for bug script prompting might exist, but (besides installation-report, which is a special issue) are unknown to me.
