Comment (by phw):

 I received a bunch of replies from our bridge operators. Here's a summary:

 * Several people ran their bridge behind their residential Internet
 connection and ended up moving, which is why their bridge disappeared.

 * People really like the "roots" t-shirt design. A few operators expressed
 sadness that they didn't get lucky with the raffle. Someone else asked
 where they can buy the t-shirt, and another person set up a relay, so they
 can get a t-shirt.

 * Many bridge operators were disappointed by the lack of traffic and
 users. This is something we hear over and over again. Maybe tor should log
 something along the lines of "You've set up a bridge, so please don't
 expect to see a lot of traffic anytime soon. Read the following links for
 more details." In any case, we're currently failing at educating our
 operators.

 * Somebody suggested that we offer our docker obfs4 image for other
 architectures. I filed #33088 to make it happen.

 * As always, bridge operators were excited to hear from us. Several wanted
 to know if there's anything else they can do.
