Arm relies on the consensus to tell an operator what flags his relay
got, but since bridges are not published in the consensus arm does not
show any flag.
The reason for bridges not being published in the consensus is to avoid
adversaries from simply looking into the consensus and block bridges as
well.

Usage of bridges is low for some bridges, higher for others. Bridges
that are stable for some time get more traffic, because user may come
back the next day and they tell their friends that they got a working
bridge.
Still it is difficult to guess who gets access to your bridge.

Atlas has no support for bridges, yet. Onionoo provides information
(also to Atlas), but not in a way to be handled by humans.
There is another project that makes use of the data Onionoo provides. It
implemented searching for bridges.
