Description

In the previously used WebError, Pylons' own pastebin service was hardcoded into the application - when Pylons shut down their service, the "Post traceback" feature suddenly stopped working for everyone.
It would be good if backlash had the possibility to easily select a different Pastebin service at runtime (maybe even a private one for very internal tracebacks) in the webinterface.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing "Post traceback" integration and the web interface configuration in the repository, then inspect how the Pastebin service is currently selected or hardcoded. Done means users can choose a Pastebin service at runtime, including a private endpoint, and traceback posting works with that choice; add or update tests for the selection behavior.
