> Since I've been starting a couple of new relays as a new relay operator,
this message occurs now and then in the first couple of days and it made
me wonder[0]. If we should ignore these numbers as long as they are below
60, then why show the message before having connected to at least 60
relays? I would propose to crank MIN_RELAY_CONNECTIONS_TO_WARN from 5 to
60 (but I'm completely new :)).

Thanks for this patch!
I think this is a good fix, but we could make it better by:
* counting the number of relays in the consensus, and using 1% of that as
a minimum
* if the limit is less than 5, use 5 as the minimum
* if there is no consensus, use 5 relays as the minimum
You can find the number of relays in the consensus by doing something
like:
{{{
const networkstatus_t *consensus =
networkstatus_get_reasonably_live_consensus(now, usable_flavour());
int n_relays = consensus ? smatlist_len(consensus->routerstatus_list) : 0;
}}}
