 The current censorship detector takes the output of metrics-web's daily
 direct usage numbers and tries to detect sudden drops or increases in
 usage.  It would be good to also look at bridge usage for censorship
 events, and it would be quite important to have a tighter integration of
 the censorship detector into the usage-calculating process and look at raw
 numbers there.  Right now, the vast majority of events that the censorship
 detector reports are just false positives.  A tighter integration would
 also allow the censorship detector to process daily usage numbers as soon
 as there's enough certainty that they won't change significantly anymore,
 rather than waiting another two days until metrics-web is really sure
 numbers are final.  Depends on #7154 where we'd first have to extend
 Pyonionoo to provide statistics on daily users.
