Hi Volker,
More noob feedback:
I set up a local system I could tinkle with using your colleague's
docker. Worked quite well. But, I was getting an issue, possibly fixed
by this patch:
https://phabricator.kde.org/D6117

Now I get to see things being sent on the UserFeedbackConsole
application, but I only see timestamps. I added debug information to
see what is being sent and (after updating the discover patch above)
and I see all sort of data, being delivered. Is it being lost in the
internets? Or am I not looking into it correctly? If I export the
product using UserFeedbackConsole I also only get timestamps :(.

HTH,
Aleix
