Yes, you are right, this is still a missing feature. The main need is to
be able to accept a message in a private list even if the message From:
is an alias of one of the subscribers and not exactly the email of a
subscriber.

In the case email alias are stored in a LDAP directory, the custom perl
condition is a solution. In the general case, it need a new table in
Sympa DB to store email aliases and a configurable provisioning for it.

The second need is to be able to list your subscribtion including those
related to one of your aliases.

Yes, yes, yes there are many pending feature request in Sympa project !
