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.

I don't see any way to comment, I assume one must register for an account. In any event I've always disliked a single application "needing" some 10 odd different log files. Worse, correlating data between them is nearly impossible. To me it's never made any sense for any application to need to log to a multitude of files. 1-2 is usually more than enough. 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?
