Description

A scenario occurs in many business cases where log files covering only a last specified period is needed (e.g. last 5 days, last 3 hours, etc.) Log4net doesn't provide any such appender; couldn't find any standard implementation either. I am writing one such appender (made some progress in fact) that derives from RollingFileAppender and follows Log4net conventions.

Is Log4net considering this or any similar appenders?
I need some critical feedbacks (e.g. naming, conventions, etc.) at this stage. Am I supposed to submit my changes as a pull request or have them discussed here?
Is there any coding convention guide for contributors?
