I think I have vcs sorted out.  Good enough for the rest of the
weekend.  I modified the /etc/email-addresses file that is currently
produced by sv_aliases every ten minutes and set it up as an outgoing
canonical map for postfix.  This is a one-off and not a long term
solution.

I commented out sv_aliases on both vcs and internal so that it would
stop producing noise by cron email about duplicated webmaster
addresses.  I commented out the undesired webmaster address from the
/etc/alisaes file on both.  That problem remains to be solved later.
I browse the /var/log/mail.log flie and observe that new mail is
getting mapped correctly.  I am not positive that the previously
queued messages were mapped correctly but new messages are.  There may
be some lingering fallout in the mailing lists for commit messages.  I
will check those next.

I think things are good to hold through the rest of the weekend.
