We're now considering to drop one step in the sanitizing step, which is to remove contact information. The result would be that we'd keep contact information in sanitized descriptors in the exact same way as the bridge operator put it into their torrc file.

I'll keep this discussion open for a week and not start changing anything during that time. If you want to state your opinion, please do it on this list by Wednesday, February 14.
FWIW, we collected all feedback from this thread, discussed this change in the metrics team, and forwarded our planned change to the Tor Research Safety Board. I don't know how fast that will move, but I could imagine it's a matter of weeks, not days.
I'll get back to this list when we have a decision whether or not to publish bridge contact information. This will be before we start publishing anything new, with enough heads-up time for bridge operators to either remove or change their contact information.
Thanks again for the discussion.
All the best, Karsten
