Comment:

 Our campaign ended on September 30th. Here's a summary:
 * Volunteers set up 96 new bridges – mostly running obfs4, but some run
 vanilla Tor.
 * We randomly picked 10 winners to receive a t-shirt.
 * I manually tested all new bridges. Most worked right away but several
 used obsolete Tor versions that were no longer accepted by Serge, some did
 not have accessible obfs4 ports, and a few operators set up relays instead
 of bridges.
 * A volunteer generously offered to set up dozens of high-performance
 private bridges for manual distribution.
 * Several volunteers pointed out issues in existing setup guides,
 contributed new guides, and suggested improvements for our docker image
 (#31834).
 * Here's a visualisation of our bridge growth. Note that we launched our
