Yeah, 50.7/16 and 204.45/16 were where the Sybil relays came from:
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-security-advisory-relay-early-traffic-confirmation-attack

We were rejecting all relays from these subnets for a while. But then I
removed that config from moria1 and asked some of the other directory
authority operators to re-allow them too, since the attacking relays
are long gone. Looks like not enough of them have done so. I'll ask
them again.

Thanks,
