khanamalumat has a job that puts a lot of text in a log file when not doing any changes

Description

The /data/project/khanamalumat/qaus.err file for the khanamalumat Toolforge tool is 37G, and the vast majority of that is simple text output stating that no changes were made over and over.

I can truncate the file for you, but it would be good if the job was less verbose when it doesn't need to do anything so it doesn't continue to fill NFS space.

If there's no response soon, I'll just empty the file with truncate -s0 /data/project/khanamalumat/qaus.err to save the space, but it would be best if you set the tool to output text when there's a problem or when in debug mode. Thanks!

@Ameen.Akbar: Per emails from Sep18 and Oct20 and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Assignee_cleanup , I am resetting the assignee of this task because there has not been progress lately (please correct me if I am wrong!). Resetting the assignee avoids the impression that somebody is already working on this task. It also allows others to potentially work towards fixing this task. Please claim this task again when you plan to work on it (via Add Action... → Assign / Claim in the dropdown menu) - it would be welcome. Thanks for your understanding!
