At least checkuser scans are logged for public review
Uh, no. Unless the software has been modified for some projects, only users with checkuser permissions can access the checkuser log. The last time I saw it (it no longer displays automatically each time you load the page, and I rarely have call to review it, so it's been a few weeks) it *did* display all checks on all wikis, but not publicly. And it shouldn't; private information could be worked out from the sequence of checks run.

But it is available for review by others "outside" of those who are performing the actions. And the log is available and *may* be up for public review again in the future. My attitude on this is that all actions of project related activities should be transparent where possible, and subject to review by 3rd parties. I know this was something that was being discussed, and I would like to have some sort of general activity log of some sort, even just a checkuser scan count and the last time it was used by the user with checkuser privileges.
