I think what you are responding to is an oblique reference to a command that already exists, and there is no need to worry about adding more ;-). If "bugreport" is not farming out the task of collecting the information to it, "bugreport" need to be corrected to do so (while "diagnose" may have to learn to collect more, if "bugreport" collects things that "diagnose" does not (yet)).
