Comment:

 This is great, thanks atagar! I've applied your patch in my `feature/22755
 -stem-descgen`
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/isis/bridgedb.git/log/?h=feature/22755
 -stem-descgen branch], and added a couple extra tiny patches to ensure
 that we use your `scripts/create-descriptors` script to generate the
 mocked descriptors in tests/CI instead of leekspin.

 It's not ready to switch yet, though. One thing that leekspin does, which
 this doesn't do yet, is it creates the `networkstatus-bridges`, `bridge-
 descriptors`, `cached-extrainfo{.new}` files all at once.  That is, a
 mocked bridge whose networkstatus entry is included in `networkstatus-
 bridges` will also have a bridge server descriptor in the `bridge-
 descriptors` file (and a bridge extrainfo in either `cached-extrainfo` or
 `cached-extrainfo.new`. I'd need a way to do this, since one of the things
 that the mocked descriptors test for BridgeDB is that BridgeDB's logic on
 whether or not a bridge should be distributed is functioning in a sane
 manner.
