It does seem quite unreasonable. Why do you think it would be a "serious breach of protocol"? Which protocol? Making approval of logging contingent on the presence of the bot in channel seems rather arbitrary. Why not just say that approval for logging is implicit for anyone present in the channel, at any time? If the decision is made to log the channel, I don't see why it should matter whether it is logged directly to the web by the bot, or via someone else's private logs which are later published (e.g. if the bot is offline due to network issues).
