Quick response would be design log. Slightly longer response is design log and record anything relevant on the design itself.
Taking a different viewpoint, all design decisions affect maintenance. However, "usual" decisions are not recorded and it is only exceptional/abnormal decisions that do require recording. It also depends on what, and why, you are trying to log some information. If it is to do with enabling a maintainer to maintain their equipment more efficiently then it may be better to log it and include it in any training given. If it is a safety issue then standards (in mainline UK) state very clearly what you need to do under CDM. It also details who is the designer (not always a designer) and who is responsible for recording the information and where!
One viewpoint...
1) technical decision - design log (and potentially on design).
2) engineering or safety decision - engineers' hazard log.
3) contractual/commercial/safety - project hazard log.
