Comment (by juga):

 The instantiated locks without acquire and release use the context
 manager, so that might not be a failure.
 The point where sbws is stalled is in this loop:
 https://github.com/torproject/sbws/blob/ee64d76df54ceb3a3c9e1e2a797fd70d68bb0035/sbws/core/scanner.py#L362,
 which was added in #28061 in order to stop measuring the same relay by two
 threads when a new loop starts.
 Turned out that there's 1 thread that is not measuring relays, it's the
 one storing the results, so that could be solved just changing "> 0" to ">
 1", i'll try that.
 However, there's still the mistery about why commenting the lines in
 relaprioritizer solves the problem too.
