I had looked at the script, but the point was that the process for reporting bugs is not particularly appropriate for protecting sensitive information, and the combination of messages just reinforces that issue.
I did finally get time to unpack the archive and look at everything being sent. Since the submission_relay_user is included, the next time I need to report something I will have to comment that out before running sysreport.
