A long while back I submitted a code contribution to be considered for log4j 
1.2.  It's a filter to regulate logging traffic bursts.  It's useful for 
situations where you may want to limit the number of logging messages that are 
sent to an appender, i.e. when the database goes down you don't want 2 million 
e-mail logs taking out the mail server.  I received a response requesting I 
change the name to something like BurstFilter, a good suggestion indeed.  Sadly 
it's taken me a year to get around to this but I finally have.  It looks like 
no further development is planned for 1.2 except for bug fixes and minor 
enhancements.  Is this feature small enough to be considered a minor 
enhancement or should I submit the filter for 2.0?

Thanks,
Chad
