Comment:

 I wrote some code to record network status on bridges similar to how we
 record them on directory mirrors.  The patch is really tiny, because we
 can re-use the existing dirreq stats and bridge stats code.

 Here's the suggested new keyword line for dir-spec.txt that would come
 after "bridge-ips":

 {{{
 "bridge-v3-reqs" CC=N,CC=N,... NL
     [At most once.]

     List of mappings from two-letter country codes to the number of
     requests for v3 network statuses from that country as seen by the
     bridge, rounded up to the nearest multiple of 8. Only those requests
     are counted that the directory can answer with a 200 OK status code.
 }}}

 Does this change need a proposal?  (That's what the needs_review flag is
 for, not for reviewing the actual patch.)  The patch should go into
 0.2.4.x.  I'm going to clean up the patch and test it for a while on my
 own bridges before asking to merge it.
