Comment:

 I'm not sure how I feel about this feature yet. FWIW, we did just recently
 change the body GetTor links requests to include information on how to
 request bridges in #23226:

 {{{
 Step 3: Get Bridges (Optional)

         If you believe that Tor is blocked where you are, you can use
 bridges to connect
         to Tor.  Bridges are hidden Tor relays that can circumvent
 censorship.
         Tor Browser includes a list of built-in bridges, which you should
 try first.
         You can activate built-in bridges inside of Tor Browser's
 settings, under the
         "Tor" menu.  If built-in bridges don't work, try requesting
 different bridges,
         which you can also do in the "Tor" menu inside Tor Browser's
 settings.
 }}}

 I'll leave this open, but keeping it at low priority for now and
 decoupling from #9036.
