Package: valve-bugreporter
Version: 2.10+bsos1

If user checks "Remember Credentials", when using Valve Bug Reporter tool, the tool stores credentials in plain text to a file called ~/.valve-bugreporter.cfg.

The valve-bugreporter-package seems to have dependency to some gnome-keyring related packages, but they are not being used.

@dankzegriefer To be fair, storing credentials in plaintext is a fairly serious issue.
