[RFC] E-mail aliases

Hi,

I added a feature to StGIT (not released yet) so that one can specify
an alias instead of a complete e-mail address on the command line (or
in the template file), i.e.:

  stg mail --to=lkml

sets the "To:" header to "linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org".

The aliases are read from the [aliases] section in the gitconfig files
("git repo-config aliases.lkml" in this case). I just want to make
sure than there isn't any other intended use for the [aliases] section
in the config files.

Thanks.

git-send-email can be configured to parse mutt, mailrc, pine and gnu
alias files.  I use the mutt one extensively myself and find it very
useful.
