[Foundation-l] should not web server logs (of requests) be published?

How exactly do config files tell us what the WMF is retaining?
That the error logs are manually purged tells us that they are in fact  
retaining details.
What I asked was an official statement of what and for how long.
The config files do not answer that question.

At any rate you didn't link to them anyway, not in this thread.

the server config settings used by WMF?

There are apache error logs  (notice LogLevel) that are collected.  
Those are manually purged, as  of 2008. (source: Tim Starling
