Comment(by sysrqb):

 First stab at this.

 In summary, BridgeDB now accepts a line in the configuration file which
 specifies how many bridges it should try to return which support given
 transports. With this, it attempts to satisfy the requirement(s) with the
 set of bridges it selects from the ring. I also increased the number of
 bridges BridgeDB will retrieve from the ring by a factor of 3. This should
 allow us to return regular, obfs2 and obfs3 bridges, on an average
 request. Normally it only selects the exact number of bridges it needs,
 but we really need to grab a few extra so that we can hopefully get at
 least one of each.
