If we get these changes into Python soon, then Django 1.3 may be able to make use of them in its logging (which encompasses not just configuring Django logging in a settings.py, but also using logging internally throughout Django where it makes sense to do so).

That puts a huge +1 on there for me.  

If we can get this approved and have Django's logging improved *and* avoid a whole pile of duplicate effort in Django that's a huge win.
