This is something that has to be discussed *on the projects themselves*, not on mailing lists that have (comparatively) very low participation by active editors.
Unless people want to trial on mw.org (assuming there is dev buy in, not sure we are there yet)
There also needs to be a good answer to the "attribution problem" that has long been identified as a secondary concern related to Tor and other proxy systems. The absence of a good answer to this issue may be sufficient in itself to derail any proposed trial.
Which problem is that?
Not saying a trial can't happen....just making it clear that it's not something that is within the purview of developers (volunteer or staff) because the blocking of Tor has always been directly linked to behaviour and core policy, not to technical issues.
I agree that any such trial should have local community buy in.
