You could ask the list owner to add your alternate addresses to the
accept_these_nonmembers filter or you could subscribe all your
alternate addresses to the list and disable delivery to them.

Note there is a todo list for Mailman at http://www.list.org/todo.html
which contains the entry

#  Have one account per user per site, with multiple email addresses and
   fallbacks. Allow them to subscribe whichever address they want to
   whichever list, with different options per subscription.

This may address your issue in a different way.

If you want to submit this as a feature request that will actually be
seen by the developers and tracked, the best place to do that is
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=350103
