Hello everyone!
As indicated in our bug tracker a while ago[1] we have some strong incentives to redo our ContactInfo field. I've collected all the different use cases and combined them in a single proposal, discussing some potential concerns and future work we could get built upon it.

We intend to solve that problem by deploying an email verification service: relays without a verified `ContactInfo` value won't be allowed on the network.
I assume that the verification system will allow for cases where operators use email aliases in the contact info field (i.e. mail addresses of the form "tor@domain.org" rather than the /real/ address "operator.name@domain.org"). If this is not the case and replies must come from the advertised address then this proposal could be problematic for some.
