Comment (by phw):

 I created [https://gitlab.torproject.org/torproject/anti-censorship/monit-
 configuration a new repository] that contains a monit configuration file.
 It monitors BridgeDB's, GetTor's, and snowflake's web frontends,
 BridgeDB's and GetTor's SMTP server, and our default bridges.

 If any of these go offline, monit sends an alert to our new anti-
 censorship-alerts at lists.torproject.org list. I set up a monit instance on
 my personal VPS and made it send email alerts using an email account on
 nymity.ch.

 I'm very happy with that setup. It does all we need and is really easy to
 set up.
