Comment (by asn):

 Partial review of `bug8614_5_rebased_r4` follows. Haven't seen
 `bug8614_5_rebased_r7` yet.

 * `0e91c34375804e0f42ece1b89f26f0db7c1405d4` seems a bit messy. Why would
 `transports` be True? Isn't it supposed to be a `pluggable transport
 method name` (string?)?

 * Thanks for the extra docs! Here are two places where I would appreciate
 some more docs:
 - I think that there should be some docs on the body of
 `getBridgesForIP()` giving an overview of the algorithm used. That
 function is pretty important but long, borderline messy (at least there
 are tests) and its logic is not apparent.
 - Would be nice to have an example of what we are trying to parse in the
 docstring of `findORAddrSubstringInBridgeLine()`.  Also, what's up with
 the `v` variable? Is it like a `debug` variable? Why not just use
 `logging.debug()` or the bridgedb equivalent?
 - `if` clauses in `testDistWithFilterTransport()` seem to be the same.
