 Replying to [comment:17 phw]:
 > Here's where we're at: All default bridges except noisebridge01 have
 either firewalled their OR port or set `BridgeDistribution none`. Despite
 repeated emails, we haven't managed to get in touch with someone who
 manages noisebridge01.

 I just sent an email to aestetix, the last person on
 [https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Noisebridge_Tor noisebridge's list of
 tor admins]. Andy, Patrick, Ben, and Leif unfortunately no longer have
 access.

 > For some reason, the default bridge
 `FB70B257C162BF1038CA669D568D76F5B7F0BABB` also shows up in BridgeDB's
 assignments.log file even though it set `BridgeDistribution none`. I
 wonder if this is a bug or if I'm misunderstanding something.

 Ah, it turns out that this machine runs two bridges: a default bridge on
 port 80 and a normal bridge on port 443, both using the same fingerprint.
