 macOS uses a person's first and last name as their username by default.
 (I'm not sure what Windows or other unix systems do.)

 This means that logs can contain a user's full name, and sometimes (at
 info level?) their IP address.

 We should think about the risks here, particularly for users that post
 logs to the bug tracker.
