Comment (by sigvids):

 For #32781 "Investigate alternative method to share bridges and Tor
 Browser bundles based on social network protocols" and #31873 "Create new
 bridge distribution mechanisms":

 There is a trade-off between publicity and privacy.

 If the distribution of bridges is **''too public''**, the bridges become
 known to the censors.

 If the distribution is **''too private''**, only insiders get to use them.
