Comment(by arma):

 I looked at this patch a while ago, and had the same initial impression as
 nickm.

 It looks like the patch is pretty modular overall, meaning it probably
 won't become a broken patch very quickly.

 How about we change tor_tls_set_logged_address() so it takes a port
 argument, and then it dups "address:port" into the tls->address field
 rather than just "address"? That would decrease the size of the patch and
 increase its robustness to changes in the Tor code.

 The next question is: where should we store the patch so researchers will
 actually find it? The 'research' page perhaps? But again, I'm not thrilled
 with having it in the first set of things people see when they think of
 Tor and research. :(
