Good morning from Wisconsin,
Back in 2019, I was involved in a discussion on this list to seek out hosting providers friendly to Tor exit nodes so that the list on the Tor Project website could be updated and geographic and provider diversity could be improved. Because our twins were newborns at the time, the project took a back burner but I had built up the initial automation and templates for the contacts.
Would there be any interest in reviving this project for the aforementioned reasons?

Hi Isaac,
First of all, congratulations on becoming a father!
Any help with the GoodBadISPs document is heavily appreciated.
One particularly helpful piece of data would be the number of Tor nodes already running under any given autonomous system - making it easier for the soon-to-be relay operator to choose a less known host, thus improving network diversity.
The infrastructure / API's for this we already have, now we just need to write some code:
https://metrics.torproject.org/onionoo.html#parameters_as_name
After all this is set up, we should launch some kind of campaign in order to incentivize people with some spare cash to host a few relays.
For 10 bucks a month, I could , right now, spin up two relays on a single KVM machine with one public IPv4 and one public IPv6 address, under an AS only hosting about 9 Tor nodes.
If everything works out okay, then we should phase-out or at-least de-prioritize the likely already wiretapped autonomous systems - talking about Hetzner, Online S.a.s and OVH - and then start shifting traffic evenly to the new, decentralized relays.
I know, a lot of wishful thinking - but you gotta start somewhere, right?

Regarding GoodBadISPs - I have mine running on Exone.pl, Keyweb.de and vpsmalaysia.com.my
