Allowing them to type "bugreport step --step-in" or "bugreport step --step-over" would be really nice. Right now I send people a python script that enables logging, dumps the code in and around the source line with disassembly, and creates a zip file with the current object file and optional debug info file (dSYM or external symbol file).

Users don't often attach all of the files that are needed, nor do they know what logs to enable and how to attach them. I am not up to date on exactly what reproducers do, but I would guess that they don't save off just the required files or enable any logging and attach logs?

That's exactly what the reproducers do actually. They capture user interaction, the GDB remote packets and any files used by the debugger. They currently don't enable logs, because you can debug LLDB during reproducer replay, but that would be trivial to include as well.
