I'm happy to assist/review.

Apart from the level to severity mapping, an important consideration to work with error reporting, the stack trace for errors should be in a specific field, according to an exchange with the Error Reporting team these are message, exception or stack_trace ... @mcollina please correct me if I am wrong but I believe we could configure a pino error serializer slightly different than the standard err serializer to output the error stack on the field expected by Google Cloud Error Reporting (exception or stack_trace are preferred, whereas as message should be saved for https://github.com/pinojs/pino/blob/master/docs/api.md#message-string, where we could put a stack trace in technically, but probably better to leverage the serializer).

The field isn't customizable. Error Reporting will also accept "stack_trace" or "exception" as aliases for "message" (which leaves the "message" field available for a more human readable text).

Conversely, Google Cloud Error Reporting may wish to add err.stack to the aliases of stack trace fields, that way we can take full advantage of pino's error serializer as is.

@naseemkullah I think so, yes! See https://www.npmjs.com/package/@elastic/ecs-pino-format as an example for a custom config for a specific cloud provider.
