 We need to mention @riseup.net on Tor Launcher's Bridge Relay Help screen.
 In #11139, Mike said:

 I think this is a good idea, but if we're going to change the Tor Launcher
 strings, we should try to future proof it, especially if stuff like #11140
 is on the table (though I would prefer limiting the yahoo bridge pool
 instead of completely removing it), or we want to add new providers later.

 Here's the two entities I think we should use instead of the current
 single entity:

 {{{
 <!ENTITY torsettings.bridgeHelp3.emailDesc "Send email to
 bridges at torproject.org with the line 'get bridges' by itself in the body
 of the message.  However, to make it harder for an attacker to learn
 a lot of bridge addresses, you must send this request from one of the
 following email address providers (listed in order of preference):">
 <!ENTITY torsettings.bridgeHelp3.emailList "https://www.riseup.net,
 https://mail.google.com, or https://mail.yahoo.com">
 }}}

 This will produce:

 {{{
 Send email to bridges at torproject.org with the line 'get bridges' by itself
 in the body of the message. However, to make it harder for an attacker to
 learn a lot of bridge addresses, you must send this request from one of
 the following email address providers (listed in order of preference):
 https://mail.riseup.net, https://mail.google.com, or
 https://mail.yahoo.com
 }}}

 How is that? Can we make the differing expense of crawling these three any
 more clear with different (yet concise) text?
