This produces nothing here.  Omitting the redirection of stderr I get
"Symbol's function definition is void: TeX-submit-bug-report".  That's
a bit surprising because `TeX-submit-bug-report' is being autoloaded
in tex-site.el and I have `(require 'tex-site)' in my .emacs file.
The command will only give me the wanted output if I add a `(require
'tex-site)' before the call to `TeX-submit-bug-report' (and adapt the
quoting).

Using `buffer-substring' from point downwards is, by the way, a nice
idea as it allows for stripping the description at the start of the
bug report without having to deal with the internals of reporter.el.
I wonder why I didn't think of this. (c;
