According to my and Lynn Tsai's bridge reachability measurements, the default obfs4 bridge mercurius4 has not been running for a few months.
It was refusing connections in March and April, and more recently has just been timing out. Time to remove it?

I'm not sure what's the requirement to get a bridge in Tor Browser but if you are looking for a replacement, I've set up an obfs4 bridge couple weeks ago on a server that is pretty fast an with a nice port (443). If it could be useful, please let me known!
Yes, this would be great! We need a lot more bandwidth for the TB default obfs4 bridges — the current bridges are pretty saturated.
Yes, we're interested in having more bridges. Let's coordinate with Lynn and the TB maintainers so we can start measuring its reachability in advance. You should first block the bridge's ORPort, in order to keep it out of BridgeDB--that will help us in our blocking-delay experiment.
Were tickets ever created for removing mercurius4 and adding David Goulet's bridge?
Nope. Please lead the way :) or inform me what is needed on the ticket?
mercurius4 is gone already in 6.0.3 and 6.5a2 (#19714).
I'm hoping we can introduce one other bridge at the same time as David's so we can do another test about whether they get blocked simultaneously.
I made #19838 for adding dgoulet's bridge, and started asking if there's a second bridge we might add.
