Fine question. I guess there's not much value in having contact
information for bridges running in the past, but only for current bridges.

We could pick a date like March 1 or April 1 and start including contact
information in descriptors published after that date.

Then it also makes sense to reach out to bridge operators with such an
announcement.

Good idea, I'll do that now.

(Again, adding more context for this list, this is different research
group than the one disclosing a list of bridge IP addresses a couple
month ago.)

All the best,
