Why ?

Each alias we add is a exception somewhere, each exception is just one
more hurdle in automation. 
If the goal is to work around bugzilla lack of multiple maintainers, a
more generic solution should be found ( like $package at maint.$domain
aliases ) instead of doing everything by hand. And so using a different
namespace for that.

there is already a ml on mailman, and newer ml on sympa will be hosted
on a different domain to avoid naming clash .

there is already planned mls for that, no need to have aliases
( especially since the ml are planned to be managed from ldap, see
private_list and restricted_list on
http://svnweb.mageia.org/adm/puppet/modules/sympa/manifests/init.pp?revision=758&view=markup ).
