I think this is a great idea, as long as it doesnt get abused. There are
quite a lot of log handling packages anyways, although would there be
enough to warrant a new category as well as a new herd?

My brief suggestion of packages which would be good for this:

app-admin/analog
app-admin/cronolog
app-admin/fetchlog
app-admin/klogview
app-admin/logmon
app-admin/logrotate
app-admin/logsentry
app-admin/metalog
app-admin/modlogan
app-admin/newsyslog
app-admin/phpsyslogng
app-admin/socklog
app-admin/sysklogd
app-admin/syslog-ng
app-admin/ulog-acctd
app-admin/ulogd
app-misc/logserial
net-firewall/fwanalog
net-mail/qlogtools
net-mail/qmailanalog
sys-apps/gluelog
sys-apps/logwatch
x11-misc/paralogger

Regards,
John
