[alias] is used to hold command-line alias, and it seems
slightly confusing to have two sections that mean something
quite different.

Didn't know about [alias]. It is indeed confusing to have [aliases] as well.

Perhaps

[mail "alias"]
        lkml = linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The other option would be to teach stgit to parse alias files used by
mutt etc. as Eric mentioned in the other e-mail (and it doesn't look
difficult). The problem is that you would need to know how to generate
them manually if you use other e-mail clients or web-based services.

if we are going to have other mail-related configurations that
might turn out be handy.  send-email would want smtp-server in
there, for example.

At a quick look, it seems that git-send-email already uses a
[sendemail] section. StGIT currently reads the smtpserver and
authentication information from the [stgit] section.
