If you run an under-utilised exit, we encourage you to opt-in as a fallback directory. We've also fixed a major bug that excluded some relays from the list.
Well, I to amintain an exit with 8 MB advised bandwith, utilized currently by 50%:

Anything I should add to my torrc ?
Not unless your server is bottlenecking your node, such as insufficient RAM, or one thread being maxed out. Right now, most exit nodes are being utilized ~50% of their advertised bandwidth capacity because that is the overall usage of the Tor exit network. So, if your exit node is using <50% of all it's performance power (such as CPU, bandwidth, RAM, etc.), then I'd say it's currently being under-utilized and would qualify for the fallback directory opt-in (and if the other criteria are met), should you so choose.
On the flip side, if your node is using ~50% of it's advertised bandwidth and is using 80% of it's CPU power or actual bandwidth to do so, that's a misconfiguration and not a good candidate for a fallback directory.
