Comment (by dd32):

 Sorry for the delays in getting back to y'all on this.

 Reviewing PR 850 above, I have two main questions, neither of which is a
 blocker:

 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/850/files#diff-
 d85d82fa0b14395e2edaaa49f3671189988bc3d7af07e3fccb6b93a00fc99480R982-R999

  1. Is it possible to send the Slug of the plugin/theme being updated,
 rather than it's Name?
  1. Like above, is it possible to pass through the Slug/Version of
 automatic updates too?

 I suspect I know the answer here, being that it's hard to retrieve those
 details, but I'm thinking maybe the Automatic updater skin could act as a
 temporary store of what is currently being processed. This could be done
 in a follow up change I guess.

 d85d82fa0b14395e2edaaa49f3671189988bc3d7af07e3fccb6b93a00fc99480R965-R979
  1. Due to error_message being translated it's not really storable for
 aggregate stats, Is process & error_code enough of a unique error with
 error_data as context?

 It can either be kept in the stats blob for easier debugging or removed,
 either is fine, it just won't get stored api-server-side.

 I'm going to attempt to get some storage running for this today/tomorrow,
 but don't let that block this ticket proceeding. Nothing should break by
 sending this through (at worst, it'll be disregarded as junk input, at
 best, it'll be recorded as successful rather than a failure).
