[tor-dev] Help with rebasing arma's n23-5 tor branch to current master

[Charlie Belmer]

Karsten, I'll take a shot at it. Is there a specific timeline I should be
aware of? My C is a little rusty and I am working to learn the codebase
(This sounds like a good opportunity to learn more). I don't want to bite
off more than I can chew if there is a tight release timeline.
