that's a bit hard to do automatically, as the value is currently not exported by the dirauths. We'd need a feature to include the value in the votes, then it could be displayed. Not sure if the network team would work on such a feature, I'd be in favor.

Good idea. I've implemented it in my ```ticket40753``` branch, described here: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40753

moria1 is including its AuthDirMaxServersPerAddr value in the consensus params section of its vote, which makes its way to this webpage: https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#consensusparams

I'm not sure if this is the best possible design (we're sort of blurring the line between what is a ConsensusParam and what isn't), but it should be an easy and safe change at least. :)

nusenu: note that once enough dir auths vote this param, they will compute a 'consensus' value for it in put that value in the consensus, but nothing actually looks at or uses that consensus value.
