Sure, and I probably come across as somewhat tetchy in my responses. That's just down to a shortage of time at the minute, and not in general because contributions to logging aren't welcome. They are (in general), as evidenced by numerous PRs which have been accepted.

I would say that for the most part, new handlers, formatters etc. ought to be published on PyPI so that they gain wide exposure. The logging package is reasonably "batteries included" already as regards handlers, etc. and new ones should only be added if they can be shown to have really wide applicability.
