I suppose lists could have aliases, but it might be additional work for the infra team. But if you're serious about it go ahead and make a formal proposal to change it. Far be if for me to discourage you but I expect you will need to have a really compelling rationale to convince everyone, especially the rest of the Incubator, that it's a good idea. Martin
