-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
BridgeDB should learn to give out a variable number of bridges based on
the number of bridges available.
For example, if a user requests bridges with transport foo, and there are
only 20 bridges with this transport, BridgeDB could choose to give out 1
bridge. If there are 21-100 bridges available, give out 2, and more than
100: 3 bridges (or the distributor maximum)
e.g.
{{{
if len(ring) < 20: n_bridges_per_answer = 1
if 20 < len(ring) < 100: n_bridges_per_answer =
min(2,DISTRIBUTOR_N_BRIDGES_PER_ANSWER)
if len(ring) > 100: n_bridges_per_answer =
DISTRIBUTOR_N_BRIDGES_PER_ANSWER
}}}
Or, BridgeDB could choose to avoid giving out more than 5 percent of
bridges at a time; and return a minimum of 1 bridge and maximum of the
configured DISTRIBUTOR_N_BRIDGES_PER_ANSWER
e.g.
{{{
n_bridges_per_answer = min(min(len(ring) *
.05,1),DISTRIBUTOR_N_BRIDGES_PER_ANSWER)
}}}
