I was approached privately a few times about that, and we had it in the 
last public steering conference call. All participants were supporting 
it, in addition, on several lists, people were heavily interested in 
these aliases. So, I didn't count, but from my feeling, I would say 
there is a strong demand. See also the membership discussion we had...

For technical reasons, because it would have a different configuration, 
and the current server is already under good load, so I don't want it to 
bear the mail forwarders. No political, solely technical reasons.

Then it still would affect the same mail server. Technically spoken, 
only a different MX record is a clean solution.

As said, lists is already in use by our internal mailman instance, so 
not available...
