Description

Currently interfaces which are responsible for displaying logs are called writers, which can be confusing, as in similar way we may think of as a writer of interface through which logs are written (to the registry).

In popular loggers what's called writers is called transports or reporters. At this point I'm leaning towards reporter term (altough it's not just about writing but also about transformations to logs, and it's what transports do)

Such change will need to be followed with rename of *-writer modules, hence it'll be breaking

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing *-writer modules and their usages. Resolve whether the project will use “reporter” or another term, then rename the modules and references consistently; done means the terminology is updated throughout despite the noted breaking change.
