Users sending feedback may not realize that it reveals the identity behind their wiki username

Some Mediawiki contributors would be at risk if their identity is revealed. Problem: When WhistleblowerFromNorthKorea123 sends feedback about the app, the following is posted to the public mailing list:

‘Kim Jong-un’ via commons-app-android – Technical information – API level: 30 Android version: 11 Device manufacturer: samsung Device model: SM-G986B Device: y2s Network type: wifi App version name: 3.1.1~1c9267ca0 User name: WhistleblowerFromNorthKorea123 Hi there is a typo in your SPARQL query.

Solution: I think we should show a toast like this when tapping “Feedback”, while the email compose activity appears:

Please remove from this email any information that you are not comfortable sharing publicly.

(I just changed the group’s settings so that email addresses are not visible anymore, please let me know if they are still visible to non-managers)

I would prefer Option 2 personally, as the people with access to the private list are mostly devs who use it to access crash reports, and I can’t easily add people to the list (due to WMF’s requirements - they have to sign a NDA).

I think we have a couple of options:

1. We can switch to receiving feedback on our private mailing list instead (which is already used for logs and covered under the privacy policy)
2. We can use a dialog to warn the user, as suggested
