I contacted many of the most relevant operators with incorrect MyFamily
setting in the past years. ansible-relayor [1] was also born to provide
a solution for the MyFamily "problem".

The email to Markus was just triggered by the OrNetRadar email that in
turn has been trigged by the fact that he added 3 relays on 2016-09-22.

MyFamily is not very relevant, but I use MyFamily data to to aggregate
relays for lists like
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ornetstats/stats/master/o/main_operators_by_cw.txt

and if torpids would also set a proper MyFamily their ranking would be
better (because more relays would be aggregated into their group).
