[alias] is used to hold command-line alias, and it seems slightly confusing to have two sections that mean something quite different. Perhaps [mail "alias"] lkml = linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org 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.
