Comment:

 Thanks for looking at the patches.

 I'm quite sure that the second patch doesn't do anything we wouldn't want
 it to do.  Quoting from the commit message: "In May 2012 we learned that
 we didn't fully disable directory request statistics on bridges.  Bridges
 did report directory request statistics, but these statistics contained
 empty dirreq-v3-ips and dirreq-v3-reqs lines.  But the remaining dirreq-*
 lines have always been non-empty."  Publishing non-empty dirreq-v3-ips and
 dirreq-v3-reqs lines is something we'd want to do.  So, I don't expect
 anything unexpected there.

 But let me run a public bridge that doesn't publish its stats to Tonga for
 24 hours, and then we'll see what stats it would publish.

 Putting into "assigned" state again, because there's currently nothing
 that needs review.
