Description

In riot-web 1.0 when you submit the debug-logs it gives the following information -

Debug logs contain application usage data including your username, the IDs or aliases of the rooms or groups you have visited and the usernames of other users. They do not contain messages.

There are privacy issues and possible privacy violations along with this. I have not taken permission from other users to include their usernames in the debug log I am uploading.

Also there should be able to preview debug logs so people can understand and relate to know what information is being sent. It would improve trust and transparency to the project than now.
