I will post a formal change for crash-utility shortly that fixes the
same. Right now we are having issues with emails bouncing off
'crash-utility@xxxxxxxxxx', so my patches sent to the same are in
undelivered state at-the-moment.

For easy testing I will share the link to my github tree (off-line)
[which contains the changes] as well.
