You're missing the point. There is a lot of mechanical aspects
of copying your current source directories to a staging area, 
eliminating a lot of crap you can't send ("make clean" for 
example), trimming out documentation, turning *.ad[sb] into
*.ada files etc. and more. Even a template for the bug description
could be started.

None of this grunt work requires intelligence.
