 If you've got the identity digest, you can do
 router_get_mutable_by_id_digest().  {Or node_get_mutable_by_id() if you
 want a node_t.}

 If all you have is the address:port (for a bridge) and you don't know the
 identity yet, I think the right place to make notes is probably the
 bridge_info_t.

 Reading through the code now to find things to comment on...
