Isn't there existing well-known formats for mail aliases?
For instance, Mutt uses simple text file:
alias nickname1 Author Name <mail@address>
alias nickname2 "Author Name 2" <mail2@address>
I don't know how well-known this is, but is surely more known than
git's config (and there are aliases in that format already).
Maybe just reference such files in git's config?
