In case you miss it:

We do not allow faking syslog PID fields, for security reasons, it
will always be set to what the kernel passed to journald.

If this is something to support, then "logger" needs to to be patched so
that it can fake the SCM_CREDENTIALS metadata of the messages sent.
This requires privileges, but is not hard to do. Please file a bug
against util-linux and ask for for this to be added.
