FWIW, I don't think a hook is a proper solution here.  Hooks are local
to buffers and set up by major modes (otherwise a package-specific
hook makes no sense), but no one said that a user will want to invoke
the bug-reporting command from a buffer under that package's mode.
And then there are packages that provide only minor modes if at all,
and packages that provide a very long list of modes, etc.

So on balance, I'd go with a command that asks the user about what
package he/she wants to submit a bug report.  If we can intelligently
guess the package, we can offer that as the default.  More automation
should only be considered after we have enough experience.
