Comment (by hellais):

 I think that if the goal is that of automating the sync of the bridge
 lists into third party tooling (ex. OONI CSV test lists) it's not strictly
 necessary to have a separate repo.

 As long as there is some sort of assurance that the format the bridges are
 listed in the tor-browser-build.git is well defined and guaranteed to work
 in the future we should be ok.
 If possible it would be great if this format could be a simple text file,
 a JSON document or something else which is easily machine readable with
 standard tooling (IRC we were parsing the bridges in that list using some
 sketchy regexp).

 In OONI we will soon be moving away from having the bridge lists vendored
 in git anyways and will probably be moving to a system which will
 automatically update them and serve them via some HTTP API (see:
 https://github.com/ooni/orchestra/issues/51).
