Raised it with infrastructure at 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-2743, part of the response was:

It looks like it is missing something, but might point someone who is more git 
knowledgeable to a working approach.

I'm going to have to check how far I got in the code that I committed vs how 
far I had thought in my mind.  Most likely, I'd try to continue building on my 
earlier code and try to reach a point where appenders built on its interfaces 
could be wired into existing log4j as a test harness and maybe flesh out some 
of my thoughts on the API.

Two is an improvement over one.   If we can get a things a little clearer, we 
could try to reach out of other ASF projects that use logging to document their 
pain points, wishes, requirements, random thoughts and maybe gain some 
additional voices if not contributors.
