Here is my attempt at providing a patch to make this behavior configurable.
From 6f109e57ed9ca6f1d04ad7678573bdc006723258 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Samuel Loury <konubinix...@gmail.com> Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2025 12:16:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] lisp/org.el: Make the suffix when adding a log note optional
* list/org.el (org-log-note-suffix): this variable contains the suffix to append
to the added note in `org-store-log-note'. It is customizable through the
customize interface.
