We're not very consistent about it, there's also:

log_temp_files: Log the use of temporary files larger than this number
of kilobytes.
trace_syncscan: Generate debugging output for synchronized scanning.
trace_sort: Emit information about resource usage in sorting.
backtrace_functions: Log backtrace for errors in these functions.
backtrace_on_internal_error: Log backtrace for any error with error code
XX000 (internal error).

But I agree the "Logs ..." phrasing is more common, so committed.
