Comment(by karsten):

 The report is now available [https://research.torproject.org/techreports
 /tor-nat-plan-2012-08-22.pdf here].

 How's this summary for the sponsor page, stolen from your abstract? "We
 wrote a [https://research.torproject.org/techreports/tor-nat-
 plan-2012-08-22.pdf tech report] that discusses the current methods for
 enabling and enhancing Tor bridge and Tor relay reachability when behind a
 consumer grade NAT device. Such reachability improvements are extremely
 important for embedded devices that provide Tor relaying or Tor bridging
 services. We propose the use of NAT-PMP and/or UPnP protocol(s) to ensure
 that inbound connectivity is possible."

 I assume, once the summary is up, we can close this ticket?
