I'm closing this as wontfix. We really want crashes to go to http://errors.ubuntu.com only for stable releases. Launchpad isn't suitable for these, both for privacy problems (stable users are much less prone to be able to decide whether a report might contain sensitive data), as well as scalability (Launchpad doesn't deal well with hundreds of duplicates, and a bug tracker isn't meant to).

As you found out, there is still a way to do this manually upon request of a developer, but we don't want to make this any easier.

This works for (non-crash) bug reports and is integrated with the MIME system, i. e. you can file those by merely clicking on .crash files. IMHO this would make it too easy to send crashes to LP.

So from what I've heard from Evan and Matthew we eventually want to move to errors.u.c even for the development release, and create bug reports off errors.u.c. when necessary.
