Yes, you're right. It's time to get data included (merged) into the
tree after a promise (SCT) had been made.

I was thinking about it in terms of "Has the log not issued at least
one STH in an X-hour period" which is related to MDD, but not the
exact same.

As an auditor you would want to find all the servers who deploy STH
Pollination or SCT Feedback. [0] Once you do that, and start polling
from them, you'll be doing the best anyone can.

I'm not sure if there's a non-centralized, scalable way to make such a
list available to people like yourself. I mean obviously someone could
operate a public service and just collect sites that are found via
scanning or self-submitted - and I expect this will happen - but it's
not the sort of thing we'd put in a draft I don't think.

But we're open to suggestions if you have any particular ideas!

[0] You could also operate a user-facing 'Trusted Auditor' and feed
your own browsing history into it or convince others to do the same.
