Not sure I can contribute any development effort, but I could probably
be help with testing.  These features would be useful to me.

I should also probably write up some notes on using lire to log bind
queries, as there was some fiddling required to make it work well with
rotated logs.  Afaik, bind itself will only rotate query logs based on
file size whereas lire wants weekly logs so I had to employ logrotate.

End result - from a default Debian install, several files to
edit/create rather than a simple addition to the bind config, but
unfortunately I did not keep notes at the time.  Bug me for this if
you want it.

Cheers,
-bernie.
