Right and my proposal is to have global policy including which channels
must be exempt due to sensitive discussions (I can think of a handful
myself) and then create a process for starting logging and opting out of
channel logging by a channel owner.

Really I think the channel owner and perhaps a module owner that fits into
that channels functional area should be the decision makers.

But having them hosted at something like irclogs.mozilla.org and searchable
versus glob hosting them all makes more sense imho.

At the end of the day thought I imagine unless someone disabled the default
logging on the ircd that Mozilla technically already globally logs all user
communications even though in private message. Whether they disabled it or
not I am unsure and how long those logs are retained I am unsure and who
has access I am unsure.

Default Inspircd config has all user input/output logged by default:
