I think they're talking about things like https://hub.docker.com/r/frolvlad/alpine-glibc or https://hub.docker.com/r/jeanblanchard/alpine-glibc

Ah, thanks for the pointer. The blog post referenced the Alpine package I maintain but was obviously implicitly referencing those Docker images.

Yes, there's several of them. The problem isn't your package, but the distribution of "alpine" images that integrate the package. Those images should describe themselves more appropriately.
I don't see where "Alpine" is used in the package name, unless you're referring to the source repository name. In case it isn't clear, `alpine-pkg-` is a prefix which denotes that the repository contains an Alpine Linux package manifest and configuration. There's nothing in the repo itself which states that this package is published and/or endorsed by Alpine Linux.
