Quite possibly...
In all seriousness, I can see considerable logistical difficulty in keeping
track of which logs are supposed to be closed & which are to be open. And
considerable bad blood if a simple mistake (as likely as not one made by the
complainant...) results in a closed log being opened.
I suppose one solution is for someone to launch a 3rd-party site where those
who wish their logs to be open can upload them. Logs on that site
wouldn't benefit from showing the results of logchecking though.
