Some of it can be verified (rather) easily with a bot, similar to how
Keybase does that.

I agree that Tor Weather doesn't have to work only on specifying an
email and a node fingerprint. There might be a place for 2 such things:
1) For actual node operators - Tor Weather can communicate a bit more
information that is relevant to them, such as newer versions or some
other suggestions based on the information available via Onionoo.

2) Any one wishes to "listen" to changes in the state of an active
node.
