Well, upstream would want detailed backtraces, too.

  $ grep "Debuginfo absent" attachment.cgi\?id\=381101 | wc -l
  188
  $ grep "No symb" attachment.cgi\?id\=381101 | wc -l
  64

Those 188+64 lines are half of the backtrace attachment already
$ cat attachment.cgi\?id\=381101 | wc -l
517

Instead of logging 188 missing debuginfo hashes which isn't useful, better
log human-readable package EVRs. That would tell more about what package
versions a reporter used.
