We don't and it doesn't matter for what acceptable_aliases is intended to be used for.
The background is a list can be configured (and is by default) to require_explicit_destination. which is intended as an anti-spam measure. I.e. it requires the list posting address to appear in To: or Cc: of the message and stops "To: undisclosed recipients:;" type of mail.
As a feature, it could be helpful to have multiple posting addresses for a single List. Are there any major downsides to doing this?
You can, either by aliases, .forwards or other MTA type configurations. And that's exactly what acceptable_aliases is for - to accept those alternate posting addresses as valid explicit destinations.
But, I think it should be up to the installation to configure their MTAs or whatever for this. I don't thing we should be trying to generate MTA configurations for alternate list names bases on acceptable_aliases.

Yeah, I'll just use a separate hash of renamed lists in Postfix.
Thanks.
