Fedora ships its own version:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/tor/tree/master

It's close to upstream, though a few things are different due to Fedora
specialties (e.g. SELinux).

When I look at #30797 I would argue these are mostly not bugs but
enhancements, except for Apprmor (#16782), which merged upstream would
weaken security on all non-apparmor secured platforms.

And there I would even argue, if we don't add AppArmorProfile, we don't
need to weaken.

So I am not sure we can conclude that the systemd unit is not working
when you build tor from source.

In general I think it's good to have a starting point upstream that
works for most.

But well if there is no collaboration upstream (I am not really in a
position to take that over) and tor devs don't think they know enough,
it can also be dropped.
