@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Oct 13, 2017):

Well, that's easy to fix. Get rid of the shared admin account (any account can be designated as a superuser) and use only individual accounts. Logging the IP address of a request would not definitively identify an individual anyway.

I'm going to reject this request because I'm planning to overhaul and improve the activity log in the near future (see #1127).
