[tor-relays] T-shirts and Confirming Relay Control

[JovianMallard]

Matt,

Inspired by the options to confirm domain ownership with Google,
Could you ask the relay operator to include a randomly generated (by
you) token in their contact field? It may take a while to propagate and
it requires action on the operator's part, but it's not difficult and I
expect it provides the assurance you need.
