Comment (by karsten):

 I made progress on integrating the output into Tor Metrics. Please admire
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/22827/bridge-
 descriptors.jpg this screenshot] of the result, and please review
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/karsten/metrics-web.git/log/?h=task-22827
 my task-22827 branch] with three commits:
  - 80fb379 is simply cherry-picked from master in order to use libraries
 from Debian stretch.
  - b8d2dc8 is where I made most of the changes and which deserves a
 careful review.
  - 816e245 adds the RFC 2629 files without modification.

 Things left to do:
  - Go through the comments to see which need more work, and ideally remove
 most or all of them afterwards.
  - Put a link to the new page to
 [https://metrics.torproject.org/sources.html sources.html].
  - Remove duplicate parts from
 [https://metrics.torproject.org/collector.html#bridge-descriptors
 collector.html].
  - What else?
