[logback-dev] Logback PR #352: Add appender for TestNG Reporter

[Ceki Gülcü]

Hi Scoot,

Thank you for posting your question on this list.

ReporterAppender is probably not useful enough for a wider audience. As 
such, I do not think it is advisable to incorporate it into logback proper.

Best regards,
