AFAICT, you've been explicitly cc'd on every mail in this thread.
Here's the whole thread:

Ugh. We need to stay portable, and I'm dreading the thought of both
syslogd-specific Unix calls and win32-logging-API calls in our code.
Why not keep it simple? Why not just write data to our own private
logfiles, just like apache does? Is the problem really so complex that
we need to use OS-specific APIs?

I think Karl Fogel said something like this in a different thread, and
I agree with him:

If apache didn't already exist as one of our servers, I'd say, "go
ahead and put logging functionality into the repository itself". But
because apache already exists and already does logging, I think makes
more sense to go for the low-hanging fruit of adding something similar
to svnserve.
