[New-bugs-announce] [issue18345] logging: file creation options with FileHandler and friends

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

When starting a service as root, you may want your log files to be created as another user (the service may drop privileges later). It would be nice to have a "chown" option to FileHander. For example it could take either a "username" string, or a ("username", "groupname") tuple.

(a similar request may be made for chmod, but umask helps a lot there)

This is quite low-priority :)
