http.BaseHTTPRequestHandler logs request timeouts. In handle_one_request():

    except socket.timeout as e:
        #a read or a write timed out.  Discard this connection
        self.log_error("Request timed out: %r", e)
        self.close_connection = 1
        return

Unfortunately, wsgiref.simple_server.WSGIRequestHandler, which overrides BaseHTTPRequestHandler's handle() method, does _not_ catch and log request timeouts. Fixing this is a simple matter of wrapping the entire body of its handle() function in a try with this except clause:

except socket.timeout as e:
self.log_error("Request timed out: %r", e)
raise

Confirmed that the code is still the same in main (3.15) as mentioned in the OP. Setting to feature request.
