"Normal" bridges are sent to the BridgeDatabase (BridgeDB), where they get into different "pools" for distribution. (Pools = website, email). There is no public list of those bridges to make blocking harder. I got told that I shouldn't go out and tell the whole world that I run bridge and which IP it got. Bridges can be made private, by not telling the BridgeDB about it's existence. It's useful when you want to run a bridge, but only your friends from a restricted country should use it. As far as I understood the new bridges (with the proxy) need to be send to tor-assista...@torproject.org manually. When one tells a public list e.g. "tor-talk" the IP and port of it's bridge with proxy it could be easily blacklisted, which would make it useless.
