Isn't the full modlog stored somewhere offline?

I think that the problem is the resources to make a search in a giant modlog with years of entries, more than the size itself.

And in some decades the size may be a problem too if many people decide to download it(bandwidth problem instead of storage problem)

No, it's basic unix/linux sysadmin shit. you log stuff then archive them off weekly/daily/monthly as needed. I personally  keep a year's around, archived monthly (not here, my own sites).

I don't think the problem is with the capability to make it available; the issue is whether giving access is correct / necessary.
I expected one of the mods to reply to this thread.

Question: Why restrict the modlog to only last one week's entries?
What is the harm in having a much longer (or even full) log?
this is a good idea but the modlog would take a while to load

That isn't a valid reason.

Yeah. Even if it was just dumping to a .txt it'd still be useful to reference.

Being an IT person, I'm inclined to think it could and probably is archived off and compressed. Even weekly tar.gz files would be a good thing.

Yes, even if just a couple of users find it useful, it would still make sense to make it available.

There probably are too many entries in that log to give a longer log or full log. It would become too large to store and it isn't required to have.

Too large to store isn't a good enough reason.
Is there anything else, due to which it has been specifically restricted?

Too large to store? These are text strings...

To add onto this, why restrict the seclog to one month of entries? It would be nice to be able to reference old entries without having to use an archived version.
