Comment:

 Please find
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/karsten/onionoo.git/log/?h=task-16276
 branch task-16276 in my public repository] for a possible implementation.

 That branch adds a new `"effective_family"` field to details documents
 specified as follows: "Array of $-prefixed fingerprints of relays that are
 in an effective, mutual family relationship with this relay. Omitted if
 empty or if descriptor containing this information cannot be found."

 Note this is just a possible implementation and that we can still rename
 the field, replace the old `"family"` field with it, or do something else.
 But that should be easier now that we have a (hopefully working)
 implementation.  Feedback welcome!
