+1 here too, since it's an error reporting service.  An Error 
Collection sounds like either a place where exceptions/errors can be 
defined for detection by other components, or a place where errors 
collect with frozen state to be retried or more deeply introspected 
than the traceback viewing in Stackful Python allows :).
