The logging LogRecord factory receives kwargs. However because _log and makeRecord functions in the Logger class don't support kwargs we can't actually pass additional positional arguments to LogRecord.

A use case for this is attached.

I had made a patch to fix this by changing _log and makeRecord to accept kwargs and pass them.

That the LogRecord receives kwargs is an internal implementation detail - note that it is not mentioned in the documentation, and not even currently used there. If you want to pass additional information to be stored in the record, use the documented approach - which is to pass a dictionary in the "extra" keyword argument containing the additional fields to add.
