Comment:

 I have same problem. Currently running obfs3 bridge is waste of resources
 because bridgedb is unreliable. There is zero support for announcing
 transport ports to bridge db and be able to read them back. You can not
 announce different ports from your listening ports, so there is no way to
 run them on port 80 or 53.

 This should be high priority for project. Sadly all obfs transport things
 are low priority.
