I mean, the crash reports appear to be with a confirmation in upstream already? (see screenshot in https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/836)

Honestly, in my opinion this is completely reasonable. This is exactly how many different software do this including Firefox and Android (by default anyway). As others have mentioned the blowback on this is, in my opinion, entirely unreasonable.

Having said that, Sentry integration is another matter.

How? I only know Sentry as the backend tool you use to analyze the uploaded crashdumps? Or do you mean that a "crash report" could be something smaller than a minidump? (although I personally think a minidump is not a bad compromise)
