Comment (by phw):

 Replying to [comment:1 cohosh]:
 > Can we also do a finer-grained analysis? I'm not completely familiar
 with BridgeDB, but if we have any partitions within the three main
 distribution channels, perhaps we can record data on which partition
 bridges belong to as well. So for example, if bridges distributed to yahoo
 email addresses get blocked, but riseup email addresses don't, then that
 tells us something interesting.

 Yes, that would be very helpful but will require some additional trickery.
 Off the top of my head, I don't know how BridgeDB handles this. I'll have
 to look into it.
