These look like good improvements. I think you should make an issue on bugs.python.org <http://bugs.python.org> describing your proposal and if you can submit a PR that implements it.

It was discussed and rejected. Citing Raymond: "Overall, this seems rehash and second guess the discussions and decisions made 15 years ago when PEP 282 was accepted."

The set of logging levels is not closed. The user can extend it to cover more specialized uses by logging.addLevelName(). There are disadvantages of having too much standard names for logging levels (as we can see in Java).

OK, that's a reasonable discussion, let's not do this. Also I note that in my own usage, "note" comes below "warning", not above it. E.g. mypy has three levels for its end-user facing messages: error, warning, and note. (Note that mypy does not use the logging module -- but it would still feel odd to me to see "note" between warning and error rather than below warning.)
