[tor-relays] Tor Weather getting T-shirt email. Problem

[Jason Odoom]

I agree there should be another way. I just recently had to start
over<https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/9748228B9BC40C154F74AA9EDFDF698B902C986F>because
I updated Tor. I don't plan on updating again until two months have
passed.
