Status of Automatic Bug Reporting?

I'm following up on this bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=163974
Abiword does not show up in the list of products or apps in bug-buddy

It was CLOSED/CANTFIX with the message "Abiword is not tracked at
bugzilla.gnome.org, and thus cannot be included in the list of
components that bug-buddy is aware of."

I'm not sure why it couldn't be set up to report to
bugzilla.abisource.com or bugzilla.redhat.com.  (It might be nice to
document that on the Bugzappers wiki pages.)  But we also have the new
Automatic Bug Reporting Tool
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ABRT) which is I believe
supposed to obsolete bug-buddy?  I did "yum remove bug-buddy", "yum
install abrt", rebooted, and then did "service start abrt".  The service
started OK, but when I gave abiword a "kill -SEGV", nothing seems to
have happened.  It's unclear to me whether or not that's expected at
this point.  I just wanted to make sure things were on track for Abiword
crashes (and crashes in general) to get into a Bugzilla instance one way
or the other.  If not, I'm happy to file a request somewhere, but I'm
not sure who would need to do what, at this point.

The testing instructions on the Features page and at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/2009-02-26 may be a bit out
of date, and I am wondering if I am even testing this correctly.
