That patch had some structural problems.  I finally went back and restructured the code in at a different layer in Bro.  It should be getting merged into master soon.  You'll be able to write out all of your logs in JSON format with:

@load tuning/json-logs

I went ahead and made some additional changes to the ascii writer so that most of the options that once were only globally available (like LogAscii::separator) are now available per logging filter too.  This make it possible to write a script that outputs a single log in CSV format instead of tab separated without impacting all of a user's other logs.

Anyway, not in master yet, but it should be there soon and it will be in 2.3.
