Yeah, this would be great.  I think I did try this once, but somebody
should take another shot.  Note that when writing to syslog, you need to
make sure you send everything as "info" or whatever level, because if
you send the debug messages as the syslog "debug" level they'll jsut get
filtered out by syslog's configuration itself.  And since you can't
really expect normal users tweak syslog configuration, you just make
NM/MM handle all the debug level message stuff, and send the result out
to syslog as "info".
