On the contrary, I often find it necessary to ask for the compile log,
or at least the last 100 rows or so. I like the idea anyway.

I think it would fit even better into lunar-tools.

The system could be self cleaning, logs older than X months get nuked.
Least effort from devs is the way to go, if it can be automated it
should :)

Sofars idea is great, it's just the implementation from the developers
side that should be easier. Right now it's to much of an effort to work
through the queue, but that's in my opinion. That's why there are so few
of the developers using it. I for one love the fact that we let the
users assist us. If we make it even more simple I'm sure most devs would
come to love it.
