Comment:

 I ran the script in production after killing the bridgedb pid, and it
 transferred 42044 (!!!) to moat.

 The "42044" part is because, apparently, we've been keeping all the
 unallocated bridges since 2008 or so.  Which, yikes.  The good news is
 that BridgeDB appears to have handled this just fine, and is only
 utilising the subset of those 42044 which the Bridge Authority says are
 running (~350 bridges, many of which are unfortunately misconfigured, and
 the misconfigured ones appear to have been rejected for distribution by
 BridgeDB).
