Seems like an uncommon request, but one which shouldn't be made impossible for those who want it. But couldn't it be achieved by writing a handler which simply re-logged the message at the new spot in the hierarchy?

That would solve that use case handily; if that's the right approach, such a handler should be provided as part of the standard set of handlers.

The use case for a .setlogger() method on the various objects that perform logging is different, so that is still needed.

Generally, I'm not convinced that a getdefaultlogger() is needed or helpful (it seems an implementation default for the module), though I'm not at all opposed to the setdefaultlogger() for the affected modules.
