I sent a more explicit proposal to the maintainers of syslog-ng
and sysklogd and later even filed wishlist bugs on them. The
syslog-ng maintainer answered:

I never heard anything from the sysklogd maintainer (does he
even exist?). I'm already waiting for several months and have no
more ideas how to contact him. I'm not shure wheter we could
just proceed ether -- he is the maintainer of the standard
system logging package in debian.

Oh, his name is Martin Schulze <joey@debian.org>.
