Comment:

 Replying to [comment:26 gk]:
 > Attached is the output of a new script run compared to what dgoulet did
 in comment:16 about two months ago. Relays are included if they are
 running 0.2.9.x or 0.4.0.x or 0.3.y (y != 5) AND have some kind of
 ContactInfo. (It seems the entries to consider went down from about 680 to
 around 400 compared to the previous run, which is great)

 > I am working on a next iteration of the output that removes all the
 duplicated ContactInfo entries so we get a better list of whom to contact
 and an understanding of how large that contact effort would be and where
 the low-hanging fruits were (depending on how we would like to proceed).

 Okay, attached is a new version that is down to essentially 276 entries
 (we know the situation of the `smell` relays and I got the DFRI folks to
 upgrade their relays meanwhile, in addition to an operator who was
 previously on 0.4.0.5 and is still there in my previous attachment),
 weighted by bw (I added the bw of all relays per ContactInfo in case there
 is more than one relay but did not bother to show all fingerprints
 involved).

 We could now think about grepping for the fingerprints and start taking a
 random number from the top and contact the operators. I am waiting for
 ggus here so we can coordinate.
