Comment (by isis):

 Replying to [comment:12 arma]:
 > A) You could do it by specifying "PublishServerDescriptor v3" if you
 wanted.

 This one sounds like a bug?

 > B) I could take your bridge descriptor and upload it to moria1. Then
 moria1 would include it in its v3 vote, and the other dir auths would
 learn about it and fetch the descriptor from moria1, and then it would be
 a relay.

 This is more convincing.

 > Not the end of the world, but it seems cleaner for bridges to say what
 they wanted to be when they're writing it up and signing it.

 Yep, this makes sense and shouldn't be too hard, and I see it's already
 marked as a good intro ticket. :)
