Comment (by phw):

 Replying to [comment:4 gk]:
 > I don't really understand why "Having the authoritative list in tor-
 browser-build.git is error-prone" while this does not hold for repository
 $foo (e.g. `tor-browser-default-bridges.git`). The issue is _not_ in which
 repo the bridges are stored but how to get the manually syncing out of the
 way.

 My understanding was that the file is not trivial to parse.

 wasn't particularly happy with it.] I wasn't aware, however, that this
 file format is meant to be easy to parse, as dcf pointed out above.

 If parsing is indeed not an issue, then I don't mind keeping the list in
 tor-browser-build.git. However, we should then add comments that explain
 who runs these bridges, and provide a link to the trac ticket in which
 these bridge were added to the file.
