Are you thinking of a reproducible bug?  It isn't needed for them.  It
is meant to be useful for irreproducible bugs, if the user runs
report-emacs-bug right away.

To make it possible to ask for those data later, they have to be
saved.  We could make report-emacs-bug save them in a file
in case they are asked for.
