There isn't anything like this now.  I'd be in favor of something.   
All that might be needed is to provide a way to specify a python  
logger configuration.  IMO, it would be enough to provide an option to  
name a logger config file as described in:

   http://docs.python.org/lib/logging-config-fileformat.html

You might be able to arrange this now using the buildout extension  
mechanism:
