I agree, but this is correct only up to the point where Emacs
completed collecting the relevant data for the bug report.  After that
point, there's no problem in modifying the defaults, because they no
longer affect the bug report and the behavior reported therein.

The default behavior until now WAS to send email from Emacs, using one
of the methods it supports.  So we are in agreement for this part.
