So, if a third party would like independently to:
- develop a TCP forwarder (very simple  code)
- submit to the BridgeDB
- decide to which host to connect back

which would be the step do be done from technical standpoint of view?

Because that way it would be possible for a lot of third party to
develop very lightweight "Tor TCP Proxy" that doesn't have inside other
than the basic logic to do the TCP Proxy.

Is the availability for third party software/script for that goals
considered?

Tnx!
