Because there are already various tools available to log activity of session processes, but there are no other ways to log the activity of autovacuum. Why are the existing settings not sufficient for this purpose?
I've pretty often been annoyed that the information provided by 'VACUUM VERBOSE' and the information provided by log_autovacuum_min_duration are so drastically different from each other. It would be pretty nice to have some way to get the same information for both operations in the same format, although I don't know if this proposal is the best way of accomplishing it.
