Indeed. One of the custom patches that GitHub is carrying in its private
fork is something similar to this that dumps information from
upload-pack into a custom logging system specific to GitHub (called
"sockstat", in case anybody was curious).
I suspect that we would still live with that patch because we depend on
some of the custom logging infrastructure provided by sockstat, but this
is definitely a good direction to be pursuing for git.git nonetheless.

Is there a reason that we have a separate scope here? I think we may
want to drop this as unnecessary, but it's entirely possible that I'm
missing something here...

I'm pretty sure that list_object_filter_config_name() returns characters
that are safe for JSON-encoding, and/or that jw_object_string() does any
quoting beforehand, but worth checking nonetheless.

These all seem like useful things to have.
Thanks,
