But it is available for review by others "outside" of those who are 
performing the actions.  And the log is available and *may* be up for 
public review again in the future.  My attitude on this is that all 
actions of project related activities should be transparent where 
possible, and subject to review by 3rd parties.  I know this was 
something that was being discussed, and I would like to have some sort 
of general activity log of some sort, even just a checkuser scan count 
and the last time it was used by the user with checkuser privileges.
