I have some bits and piece,
from when I tried to assemble the "SavannahInternals" page 
(http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/SavannahInternals/ ), though the 
information there seems somewhat out dated.

Looking at the "Cron job on vcs" section on this page mentions "sv_aliases" 
script in "/etc/cron.d/sv" which rebuilds /etc/aliases.

checking now in internal:/etc/cron.d/sv I see something similar:
===
################################################ MAIL RELATED
# Commented, since there is no mail service at savannah
#
# List of mail-/etc/aliases must be rebuild regularly 
#*/10 * * * *   root    sv_aliases --cron
# This, plus create a file full of address@hidden to override the sender (and 
avoid SRS- or SPF- issues)
*/10 * * * *    root    sv_aliases --cron && sed -e '/# Savannah include 
start/,/# Savannah include end/s/\([^:]\+\): .*/\1: address@hidden/' 
/etc/email-addresses -e 's,This is /etc/email-addresses,DO NOT EDIT - GENERATED 
FROM email-addresses.,' > /etc/email-addresses_SENDER
===

So even though the comments said "commented", there is an enabled call to 
sv_aliases.

Hope this helps, I can try to investigate further.
