Shouldn't this be treated more seriously? There are literally over 100 high bandwidth relays, which should specify a family but which don't. If you monitor a client, it is very frequently that circuits are built where two relays are clearly controlled by the same person.
As a first try I mailed to two contact email addresses, but I haven't got any response.

NodeFamily can be specified by a client, if the relays don't specify their MyFamily by themselfs.

No, there no reason to set MyFamily when you only admin a single node.
That said, I just followed the link you referenced, and it leaves my scratching head a little. The description of NodeFamily is:
"The Tor servers, defined by their identity fingerprints or nicknames, constitute a "family" of similar or co-administered servers, so never use any two of them in the same circuit. Defining a NodeFamily is only needed when a server doesn’t list the family itself (with MyFamily). This option can be used multiple times."
What? Suppose I operate 3 nodes. I could specify
MyFamily $00000000000000000000000000000000,$111111111111111111111111111111,$22222222222222222222222222222222
The doc says:
NodeFamily node,node,…
MyFamily node,node,…
So how would a NodeFamily declaration differ from the 3-node MyFamily example above?

(I'm quite new here, but...) If you only run 1 node, is there any reason to set the Family? My reading of https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en (MyFamily, NodeFamily) suggests that it's not relevant for the 1-node case.
Thanks, Greg

Probably just misconfigured. If there are emails attached to the nodes you could try mailing them directly about it.

Hi,
when I browse through the list of relays I find many router names, which correlate in some way, but which don't specify a family in their descriptors.
Just to name a few:
- 2* c5VycfOP
- 3* c516a
- Caldron, Caldron2, Caldron3
- BlgTOR2, BlgTOR
- DwarfHappy, DwarfSleepy, DwarfSneezy, DwarfDopey
- DONATIONxTORx0 - DONATIONxTORx7
and so on,...
is there a reason, why there is such a high number of relays, which fail to specify a family, since this seams rather striking?
