[tor-project] Rhatto's Monthly Status Report, November 2022

[rhatto]

Hi all :)

This is my monthly status report for November 2022 with the main
activities I have done during the period.

## 0. The Onion Plan 2022.Q4 release!

Since the [Onion Plan session][] at the 2022 Tor Meeting, I started
doing a research on existing and new proposals for Onion Services, like
human-friendly names, HTTPS certificates and tooling.

The research is far from complete, but now it's finally ready for
release:

* https://tpo.pages.torproject.net/onion-services/onionplan/
* https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onionplan/

I would like to thank Raya for doing the Outreach sections as well as
all the people contributing with the discussion!

Hopefully this work will continue in 2023 and help setting a roadmap for
improving Onion Services usability :)

## 1. Onion Launchpad security analysis

I also did a thorough analysis on censorship and security considerations for
Onion Launchpad -- an Onion Services landing page --, including an upcoming
and optional privacy-preserving page hit metric collection feature:

* https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onion-launchpad/-/issues/39#note_2854486
* https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onion-launchpad/-/issues/65
* https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onion-launchpad/-/issues/66

## 2. Sponsor 123

And, as usual, I've done the regular Sponsor 123 deployments, monitoring,
maintenance and development.
