Comment (by ahf):
Would it make sense to deprecate the `ContactInfo` field in `torrc` and
replace it with a more structured format?
For example:
- `ContactName` the name that the relay operator would like to be
identified as.
- `ContactEmail` the email address the relay operator would like to be
contacted via.
- `ContactComment` (optional) an additional comment that will be rendered
in the `contact` field in the descriptor.
We could then let Tor continue to use the `contact` field in the relay
descriptor and render it using the three pre-defined fields:
"`{{ContactName}} <{{ContactEmail}}>`" if `ContactComment` is unset or
empty.
"`{{ContactName}} <{{ContactEmail}}> ({{ContactComment}})`" if
`ContactComment` is set.
We could warn the operator if the relay has `ORPort` set, but
`ContactName` and `ContactEmail` is missing.
I don't know if this has been discussed before elsewhere, but I have the
feeling that people are using this field in some slightly unstructured
manners.
