Sorry for the misunderstanding! v3 adds the Issuer to the logs as well.
I wanted to clarify that this "issuer" has not actually been verified,
but all I could come up with was "purported issuer" which doesn't read
well to me. "Claimed issuer"? "Alleged issuer"? Thoughts?

I was about to say "yes, very cumbersome", but I actually think we
might be able to do that without bubbling the error up through
multiple callback layers, using SSL_set_ex_data() and friends. I'll
take a closer look.
Thanks!
