According to the http://drupal.org/node/220492#comment-735334 , http://drupal.org/node/220492#comment-1759630 , http://drupal.org/node/106470 and others, there are many people who still use Drupal 5 and who need the hook_watchdog functionality in Drupal 5. Also it seems that there are still some large projects on Drupal 5.

They still need to upgrade to Drupal 6/7 certainly as there will be no Drupal 5 support after Drupal 7 release and there seem to be no new module releases for Drupal 5, however the hook_watchdog format is the same for Drupal 5 and Drupal 6, so with adding the D6 functionality from the http://drupal.org/node/149341 it will probably be even easier to upgrade for them.

The http://drupal.org/files/issues/watchdog-hook-5.21-may_cache.patch in #24 applies cleanly to Drupal 5.22 , was tested on D5 version of the http://drupal.org/project/rawlog and seems to be working.

Also there is one more module implementing this for D5, latest 5.21-5.22 versions support added in Rawlog version 1.0-alpha1 http://drupal.org/node/788922 , with the help of the http://drupal.org/files/issues/watchdog-hook-5.21-may_cache.patch patch. However patch still isn't part of the core despite being applied cleanly to Drupal 5.21 - 5.22.

As D5 support and new versions release discontinues with the release of Drupal 7 which will happen soon, can you please consider something like Drupal 5.23 and also including the hook_watchdog functionality into Drupal 5.23?

Drupal 5 is feature frozen, it's ultimately Neil's call, but I fear there is nothing much to do here.

Thank you. That's a big pity as patch is ready and many people put their efforts into it. Also there are people who's waiting for it for their Drupal 5 installations. Ok, sure, it seems that no one can do something here.

Marking as won't fix as d5 is end of life.
