Comment:

 I pushed a work-in-progress version of my code to this repository:
 https://dip.torproject.org/phw/bridgestrap

 Here's what remains to be done:
 * Add tests.
 * Clean up code and make it more robust.
 * Strip down the torrc (in tor.go) to its bare minimum.
 * Improve the way we're spawning tor and interacting with it.
 * Improve log messages.
 * Write BridgeDB code that interacts with this service.
 * Figure out what to do with the Web frontend, to prevent abuse.

 It's still work-in-progress but I would appreciate a preliminary review of
 the code.
