Yes, I would either log all messages to *Messages*, or also create a
customization variable:
log-verbosity-level
Variable: Maximum level of messages logged to *Messages* by `maybe-
message'.

I think the symbol would be okay, because it is easier to understand,
and also quite easy to extend.
But some modes (like tramp-mode) already have a numeric system of up
to ten verbosity levels.
So, perhaps one could allow for numbers, and allow symbols as a
clearer form that translate directly to numbers, e.g. `none' would be
0, `important' 2, `verbose' 5, `all' 10. That way, verbosity is
indicates as an integer 0..10, with 10 being the most verbose.
That way, we would not lose any specificity in modes like tramp-mode,
but retain a clean and simply interface for the user.
(But to be honest, either way looks good to me.)
There could be a recommendation for externally maintained modes to
take use maybe-message, or take this verbosity level as the default
for an existing verbosity customization.
