Comment (by phw):

 Over in #30331, it was suggested to either log the full bridge line, or
 write it to something like $DATADIR/pt_state/bridgelines.txt, along with
 all other PTs that the bridge runs. The problem with a log message is that
 bridge operators may accidentally publish their bridge when they paste
 their logs, e.g., here on trac.

 I suppose a bridge could write to bridgelines.txt before it publishes its
 descriptor because that's when all the necessary information is available?
