Comment (by robgjansen):

 I believe that my patches have been public since I talked to Roger and he
 made this ticket. (See
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/5190#comment:5 my comment
 above].)

 The code currently publicly exists on https://github.com/robgjansen/tor in
 these branches:
   * research/throttling/bitsplit
   * research/throttling/flag
   * research/throttling/threshold

 AIUI, Tor doesn't generally "archive" research code. Perhaps this case was
 different because of the potential positive impact that throttling could
 have on general Tor usage? In any case, I don't plan on removing my code
 from my GitHub Tor clone linked above, but do feel free to "collect" it in
 some way if that is desirable.

 I think we can close this ticket.  If we indeed want to further pursue it,
 deciding if throttling should actually be done and how should probably be
 a new ticket.
