These go to the Ubuntu error tracker ( https://errors.ubuntu.com/ ).
The Mythbuntu team sees these and does periodically review them. I'm
unsure if any mythtv devs have a login to look directly at that raw
data, but we (mythbuntu team) can open bug reports on launchpad
directly from that data and it attaches them automatically. Generally
I'll look at the most common issues from the last month and see if
there is anything critical. See
https://errors.ubuntu.com/?package=mythtv&period=month

There is a bit of a disconnect between the MythTV devs and the data in
https://errors.ubuntu.com/ . I've tried to get them into it in the
past, but I don't recall if there was much interest from the dev side.
