>Writing about this now, I got an idea: we should have some sort of plugin for Log4J or slf4J: a plugin that would automatically open tickets on Github or other trackers, when the .error(...) method is called

Great idea in theory. It will not fly in practice. If you tell to any enterprise company that your (or their) software is automatically doing this behind the scenes, the project will be shot down.

I mean, getting crash metrics is one thing, but opening automated issues from enterprise software is a completely different manner.

I like the approach Visual Studio App Center (and probably others) takes of aggregating crash reports so you can easily figure out which issues are impacting the most users and prioritize.
