Comment(by kcrisman):

 Okay, I've been messing with this for too long today.
 {{{
 sage: get_systems('log_gamma(SR(6))')
 ['ginac', 'GMP']
 sage: get_systems('log_gamma(RR(6))')
 []
 sage: get_systems('log_gamma(CC(6))')
 ['PARI', 'MPFR']
 sage: get_systems('log_gamma(6.)')
 ['MPFR']
 }}}
 See also #10072, where a lot of the numerical evaluation was fixed.
 Anyway, updated patch with more explanation and other information coming
 up.  It needs light review; no code was changed, only doctests.

 I'm not sure I like the last doctest either
 {{{
            sage: conjugate(log_gamma(-2))
             conjugate(+Infinity)
 }}}
 What is the conjugate of plus infinity?  But I'll leave it for now, just
 to document it, unless someone has an objection, since we have in vanilla
 Sage
 {{{
 sage: conjugate(+Infinity)
 conjugate(+Infinity)
 }}}

 I've opened #12521 for the evaluation at negative input with even ceiling
 function issue (i.e., `log_gamma(-2.1)`).
