I just started a wiki page to collect thoughts about improving
logging in the next version of Mailman. Please feel free to comment
in the page if you have specific goals for improved logging.

Cheers,

The situation as it is now would be like apache logging each hit in three or four different logs with differing pieces of information.

Sadly, yes this is required in order to minimize wiki spam. Welcome
to the internet circa 2007. ;/ Still, I encourage you to register
and contribute!
I can definitely see that side of things. One thing that occurs to
me now (and I've updated the wiki to reflect) is that it should be
possible through the LOG_CONFIG_FILE to point the separate logger
outputs to the same log file. You should be able to mix and match
them. I haven't tried it, but I believe it will work. Maybe that's
enough?
