Comment (by isis):

 I just grepped for the contact lines for the broken bridges, and not a
 single broken PT bridge has contact info. (I was going to send emails to
 the operators before trashing their bridges.)

 As a slight tangent, I think some of these bridges might have something
 extra wonky going on; I saw bridge extrainfo descriptors like:

 {{{
 […]
 transport scramblesuit 1.1.1.1:1111
 […]
 bridge-ip-transports scramblesuit=8
 }}}

 which shouldn't be possible… unless these `password`less scramblesuit
 bridges are being used as private bridges and the operators wanted to send
 us statistics? Only some minority of the `password`less scramblesuit
 bridges had wonky `bridge-ip-transports` reporting scramblesuit usage
 (~1:20 broken ones). At least one broken scramblesuit bridge had `bridge-
 ip-transports scramblesuit=16`.

 It's nice of them to send us statistics, I guess?
