[tor-project] cohosh's monthly status report, November 2023

Hi! This is my status report for contract work done in November 2023.

# Reputation-based bridge distribution

We deployed a Lox distributor for rdsys in production for testing purposes. The distributor does not currently receive an allocation of bridges from the distributor as we are currently testing the invitation and reputation functionality of the Lox server. Most of the work done this month has been on continuing client-side integration and finding and fixing bugs with the distributor.
