popularity-contest does log to the file /var/log/popularity-contest, which is rotated by logrotate. However, if popularity-contest experiences a problem during submit then it does leave behind a file named like /var/log/popularity-contest.12345 (and possibly another with .gpg on the end) where "12345" was the process ID of the running popularity-contest. So if that's what you see, you may wish to look in to why your popularity-contest is consistently failing. I would also agree that the system log directory is probably not the best place for such files to be left behind, so that's maybe a wishlist bug also.
