 I will review it on GitHub.

 Please base the branch on 0.2.9, we might want to backport it like #23856.

 > `test_router.c` only contains 1 test and adding a test for this does not
 seem possible without adding more mocking functions, as `get_uptime` and
 `bandwidthcapacity`

 I think it's worth the extra time,

 > Should we also change the dir-spec line
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/dir-spec.txt#n354 to say
 something like:
 >
 > `- Its uptime is less than 24h and bandwidth has changed...`

 Yes, but we also need to say that old Tor versions ignored uptime. Please
 open a child ticket for the dir-spec change.
