Comment:

 Okay, some final note here: I created [https://gitlab.torproject.org/gk
 /helper-scripts/-/commit/b40a0e100e8d3e6d1503076ddb6ddfbf05346a59 a
 script] that pulls exit relays failing DNS queries with a certain
 threshold (by default only relays failing 10/10 times are shown) out of
 some JSON blob created either by Arthur's exit dns check tool or by my own
 run. I contacted the respective exit relay ops (that's the "[s]" below
 where "[sf]" means "mails sent but bounced") last week and did not really
 hear back (just one replied looking into it). So, now's the time to
 actually start the badexiting process. I pushed a rule to mark all the
 exits below as badexit:

 }}}
 (FWIW: As said previously I slightly modified arthur's to use
 `https://eff.org` to check for exits as the results compared with Arthur's
 allow us to differentiate between DNSSEC only issues and more general
 ones. That's useful when contacting relay ops in particular until #33179
 is solved).

 Marking this ticket as in `needs_review` for the script I want to add to
 the `helper-scripts` repo.
