I don't think the log file should be used for anything but error analysis. We simply cannot give any guarantees on the text format. If you want to have statistics, run a client like mpdscribble.

We could make the sticker storage pluggable, so you can write a libgda backend. I'm quite happy with native sqlite support right now, and I had initially considered using BerkeleyDB instead of sqlite. When sticker storage is pluggable, we can extend that interface to store the whole MPD music database.
