LOL!
Really? He seriously thinks the GCHQ/NSA types are dropping anonymous tops into his in-box? He even admits he has no way of knowing. TBH, he sounds like a kid that wants to believe in Santa Claus. Did he stop for one moment to think that such teams at the TLAs are going to be monitored, and they're hardly stupid enough to want to risk their jobs for TOR. Then also consider that, when a hole is found, the list of people at either agency that would know about it would be very small - the minute a hole was plugged shortly after having been found by The Man then the people on that small list would be under a spotlight, which would leave very little wriggle room for a leaker to hide behind.
There is one possibility that either the GCHQ or NSA would let the TOR project know of a hole, and that's if they already knew it was in use by an opposing group such as the Russians or Chinese. There is, unfortunately, the possibility the tips are coming either from the Russians or Chinese to block Western spying efforts, or (worse) they are coming from black hats working for nastier groups such as paedo rings and drug gangs.
