Comment:

 There are ten or so directory authorities, but there are also a few
 thousand directory mirrors.  The "dirbytes" reported by the directory
 authorities mostly result from new clients bootstrapping, whereas the
 "dirbytes" reported by the directory mirrors are spent on recurring
 clients.

 The graph on Tor Metrics indeed puts all "dirbytes" together into a single
 graph.  Let me try to explain that a bit better on Tor Metrics: "The
 following graph shows the portion of consumed bandwidth that directory
 authorities and mirrors spent on answering directory requests. Not all
 directories report these statistics, so that the graph shows an estimation
 of total consumed bandwidth as it would be observed if all directories
 reported these statistics."  If you have suggestions for better text to
 describe the graph, please let me know.

 Apart from that I don't see what's left to do.  I don't see why we'd need
 directory authorities or mirrors to report more data.  And I don't see a
 need to make another graph for this.  That's why I'm closing this ticket
 now.  Thanks for your input!
