My own take in this is that it's probably not worth changing.
The long-term plan for the service is currently only partially defined,
and whilst alioth-lists.debian.net might outlive lists.alioth.debian.org,
this is not certain, and both dates are several years away. So I wouldn't
rush to make such a change yet, though it might be appropriate eventually.
