I keep going back and forth about the sets of events. I still think patch-created is an odd event to try to audit, but OTOH I think setting a precedent of including every event in the audit trail will make it easier to (remember to) extend this in future - I'm particularly thinking about the upcoming relations stuff, which we will definitely want to include in the audit trail.
