I think there are two factors that keep people from doing so, and both share the
same root cause: the debug information is usually an immense really ugly looking
thing that A) they would not normally post on a discussion/chat for fear of being
"messy", and most people these days grew up with discussions/chats so they
view a mailing list through that lens and B) Is full of details about what is most
often a component of security infrastructure, where there is a concern about exposure
requiring them to consider how to redact some details, some of which may not
be amenable to a simple search/replace.

Some sort of interactive post-processor for the debug input to pretty it up, clean out the
true cruft, perform redactions/aliasing on any exposed server names or addresses,
and maybe point out a few common issues if it sees them... might be a worthwhile
endeavor.
