I don't think there's more anyone can do here. I think people here have done a good job explaining _why_ you see what you see.
If you would like to see something change, it would be a good idea to go to https://trac.torproject.org, create an account (or use the cypherpunks one), and open a ticket stating facts such as
- where you saw that the Tor Project saying they want relays with dynamic IPs - your reasoning for why teor's 4 bullet points about "advantages to resetting when a relay's IP address changes" are not valid
If the Tor Project really said they want relays with dynamic IPs, maybe the wording needs to be modified. I imagine, for instance, they might have said dynamic IPs are good for bridges.
In any case, your ticket will be best received if doesn't have a demanding/entitled/accusatory tone and has concrete ideas for what should be done.
Thank you for running a relay and please do not be discouraged by numbers.
Best

Paul, you may be a very, very smart dude who needs no clarifications and I may be a passive aggressive liberal fascist but you are totally wrong - I have NO idea what "submit a patch" means in whatever jargon you are using. Submit what? To whom? Where? In what form?

Rana, I don’t think ""submit a patch" needs any clarification.
Maybe you are a little bit to aggressive in your wording :-) ?
I do have a dynamic IP as well on one relay and do know that frustration.
Relax

Please clarify what you mean by "submit a patch".
I am not one of Tor technical contributors, nor do I presume capability of being one. I can only report my findings as a relay operator. Which I have already done here, in full detail.

In short, if Tor Project does not want relays with dynamic IP, it should say so and I would stop wasting my time. Otherwise, Tor should fix what's broken.
Please submit a patch.
Thanks.
Crying about what tor shold do to please you seems not very productive.
