Generally it's better to see if there's at least some general support
for an idea before adding it to the TODO list. In this case, I don't
think you'll find any. The current way you get everything out of
log_statement is completely reasonable for most people, and I doubt
you'll ever get one of the folks who hack on PostgreSQL to work on the
feature you'd like unless you paid them to. You'd need a much better
justification for why you can't just filter things out of the log
yourself before it would be worth further complicating the code
involved. It's just not a common request--if anything, you might find
people want everything *but* SELECTs.
