IIRC, they mark the bugs as private on submission, then they have a
server-side process that processes the core files, adding backtraces and
removing the core file afterward.  This isn't perfect but, it's deemed
good enough.  (This is from what I remember it was like some years ago,
I might be misremembering and they might have changed the process since.)
