Are you asking for the addition of a general, optional feature to
reporter.el, or asking specifically about Org mode? (Presumably the
former else you would have used... M-x org-submit-bug-report.)

Either way, it is a very low priority request. M-x report-emacs-bug
has supposedly had this feature for a long time, yet people often
defeat it somehow (as you did in this report). It's never seemed very
important.
