Support in log4net

One problem I've definitely experienced is that when you depend on some other 
package, you have to sometimes do maintenance releases just to upgrade the 
dependency. Yes, the consumer can override the dependency with a local install 
(assuming that it's still compatible), but most people don't. So then when a 
vulnerability is found in an upstream package, one finds oneself repackaging 
and re-releasing out of an obligation to the users (and also to stop silly 
vulnerability reports like "you depend on vulnerable package X at version Y" - 
again, the user can override this, but many won't, so the report has some 
validity). I would much rather see a new nuget package for the appender (and 
that could depend on the System.Diagnostics.EventLog package - it would have a 
much smaller scope than all of log4net, and likely wouldn't incur the same 
overhead on a release - apart from the act of bumping versions and 
re-packaging, the whole thing has to go through a vote as well).
