Possible disadvantages are:
- If somebody runs a relay and a bridge, both with the same contact
information, a censoring adversary might guess that the bridge might run on a nearby IP address as the relay. However, they could as well assume that for all relays and block or scan the IP space around all known relays.
- Bridge operators might be surprised to see their contact information
in a public archive. We do have a warning in the tor manual https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en#ContactInfo, but maybe nobody reads the fine manual.
An email address may be linked to an IP address in public sources, e.g. mailing list archives, forum postings.
