 Not yet.  I want to extend it to output whether an unallocated bridge is
 assigned to a file bucket.  Will set the needs_review flag once I'm done.

 just write the file buckets to disk?  I want the assignments of bridges to
 the https/email distributors as well as the unallocated bridges.  Also, I
 want the assignment file to be updated whenever BridgeDB loads new network
 statuses and descriptors and refreshes its internal state.

 I didn't know that `--dump-bridges` writes email/https/unallocated briges
 to disk, too.  Why's that?

 Also, I don't think `--dump-bridges` does what I want for a number of
 reasons.  1) I want to learn about changing assignments as soon as
 BridgeDB loads new bridges, not when an external script is running.  2) I
 want to learn about assignments at any point in time, not only the most
 recent assignment at the time of syncing data.  3) I'm more interested in
 the fingerprint than IP:port.
