Comment (by rransom):

 Replying to [ticket:9854 karsten]:

 >  2. We decide this information is important and that we should have it
 available more easily.  We don't remove the `ContactInfo` line when we
 sanitize bridge descriptors.

 I thought a bridge descriptor's `contact` line was removed for the same
 reason that its nickname is redacted -- to prevent an attacker from
 learning that the bridge may be ‘near’ one or more relays.
