Usually the Contact Info is obfuscated is some way. Tor Weather handles grabbing these just fine too so should not be a problem to automate the process.
Tor Weather requires users to opt-in by filling in a form with an unobfuscated email address and relay fingerprint.
It doesn't use the relay's ContactInfo at all, and anyone can sign up to watch any relay.
I was wrong - Tor Weather sends a single email to welcome new relay operators to the Tor network. It encourages them to sign up to monitor their node. (Any further emails require a manual sign-up.)
Roger just corrected my mistake on IRC: "did you know that tor weather auto reads the descriptors, and pulls in contactinfos, and tries to deobfuscate them, and sends a welcome message to relay operators, and later sends a tshirt mail if they achieve some (buggy) set of thresholds?”
