[tor-relays] I have an Alleged family member

Hello all, I run a variety of Tor relays--most on VPS hosts. I recently added a small relay and updated my family members. Strangely, this last relay is tagged as an "alleged family member," even on itself [0]. It has been like this for over a month. I can't detect a typo. Any suggestions?
