Comment(by karsten):

 The `bridge-descriptors` file contains all the server descriptors that
 Tonga knows about.  You'll probably want to look at the `"r "` lines of
 `networkstatus-bridges`, more specifically only at those with `" Running"`
 in the subsequent `"s "` line.

 By the way, I don't think we should derive any statistical information
 from data which is too sensitive to be published.  In this case it might
 mean that we should stop scrubbing nicknames in sanitized bridge
 descriptors.  That would allow us to have the number Runa wants to know
 for the last few months, not just single days.  But if we think the
 nickname is too sensitive, then we shouldn't derive this statistic at all.
