Comment (by karsten):

 Maybe having a list only for bridge operators is a good idea.

 But maybe it's a better idea to recognize that operating bridge relays is
 not that different from operating non-bridge relays, and that these
 discussions could as well go to the relay operators list.  The
 announcements you mention as examples are indeed primarily targeted at
 bridge operators.  But there may be other announcements like "All relays
 and bridges should upgrade to Tor version 0.x.y immediately", and then
 you'd have to post that to two lists.  And of course you'd miss one of
 them.  And of course you or somebody else would start cross-posting and
 the world as we know it will end.  So, it seems that relay operators would
 not mind if you add this extremely low traffic to their this list.  And
 maybe they start finding it interesting to also run a bridge?  And, oh
 hey, look how the description of the tor-relays@ list already includes
 bridges: "support and questions about running Tor relays (exit, non-exit,
 bridge)".

 All that being said, the policy is that if you're a Tor person and offer
 to moderate a list, you shall have it, even if list admins think it's not
 such a good idea.  If you still want it, please say so, and we'll make it
 happen.
