 Thanks a lot, Damian! I am now building on your great patch set, to make
 it work in a runtime context.

 > If tor would ever care to hire a BridgeDB maintainer to replace Isis let
 me know. The codebase relies excessively on catch-alls to mask underlying
 instability so there's quite a bit of room for stabilization.

 Our new anti-censorship team is responsible for BridgeDB and I'm its new
 maintainer. We will hopefully be able to do some general maintenance as
 part of our
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/sponsors/Sponsor30
 Sponsor 30 grant]. Let me know if you have any specific suggestions on
 what kind of BridgeDB improvements you would like to see.
