Yep, that was also suggested in one of the SO answers in my initial
post. I currently implemented it that way. However,
LoggerContext#getLoggers() does not return parent loggers. So, if the
configuration is like

<Logger name=3D"com.company" level=3D"debug"/>
<Root level=3D"info">
    <AppenderRef ref=3D"CONSOLE"/>
</Root>

I'd get all com.company.* loggers but neither the com.company logger nor
the root logger. I could recursively traverse that list and call
getParent() on each entry (and clean duplicates) to eventually arrive at
the complete set.

It uses ctx.getConfiguration().getLoggers() which, although called
getLoggers(), actually returns logger configs.

My conclusion is that the quickest way to obtain the complete set is to
combine the results of LoggerContext#getLoggers() and
LoggerContext#getConfiguration()#getLoggers(). The fact that the data
types of course "don't match" is not relevant as I just the name of each
anyway.
