Comment (by micah):
The DirAuth meeting in Berlin
(wiki:org/meetings/2015SummerDevMeeting/DirectoryAuthorityOperators)
discussed many things, and there has been some progress on some of them.
However, we didn't actually discuss scripts for tracking which auths are
rejecting which relays. There '''has''' been some movement in shoring up
some of the foundational pieces so that we can do this, but there is still
some work to do. Reviewing what these things are makes me realize that
many of these aren't in trac, and need to be.
1. standardize format of bad.conf: dgoulet came up with a format that can
be machine parseable (#17299) and a script to generate those (#12261)
2. the plan was once we got that format standardized, we would start to
clean out old entries (#18164)
3. we also wanted to push more people to use the dirauth bits. ln5 now
does this, so one step forward
4. we need to find a way to determine vote divergence so we can find out
who is and who is not voting on things that everyone else is agreeing on.
DocTor is the perfect framework for monitoring everything, so we need to
somehow link those things (or parse each DirAuth vote to find divergences?
I dont know if Reject lines are published in the votes, I know Invalid and
BadExit are there, but I dont think Reject is, perhaps that is because if
it were there it would leak that information?) - I created #18165 for this
5. Have a frank discussion with dirauth operators about their role, their
impact, and come up with some standard requirements otherwise some of
their "power" will be reduced
(https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/16558)
Meanwhile ln5 and I started also voting BadExit, and are running exitmap
confirmations, and I started running confirmations for the hsdir work that
dgoulet and donnacha are doing and more of us have been paying attention
to bad-relays and reacting when things happen (instead of only arma), so
things are improving, but they are not nearly there yet.
