To answer your questions:



1) The list activity report in the web interface only operates on the current changelog file. Unless you have a truly unusually busy list, rotating changelog files monthly is almost definitely overkill. (How large are those monthly files?) The main reason to rotate changelogs is to keep the search performance acceptable. Unless your changelogs are hundreds of MB in size, there is probably no reason to rotate them at all. Most list-level changelogs don't get larger than a few KB.



2) Yes, you can GET the changelogs via e-mail. No, this does not lock the list or the changelog file.



3) Yes, you can route changelogs to a DBMS, but it's something your site administrator has to configure: http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/17.0/sitevars/CHANGELOG_DBMS.html
