It's perhaps somewhat unfortunate that the formats of the other alias
file types aren't described here, however, the reader can at least
look them up. But the new "simple" format is never described anywhere
in the documentation, so it's effectively unusable. Most users will be
unable or unwilling to consult the source code or the commit message
to figure out how to use this format. The description you wrote for
the commit message might be sufficient as proper documentation (with
proper Asciidoc formatting, of course).

I imagine that users would appreciate being able to add comments to
their aliases file, and the implementation complexity to support
comment lines and blank lines (as described in the Postfix aliases
documentation you cited earlier[1]) would be so minor that I'm rather
surprised you chose not to do so.

A here-doc would be easier to maintain and read:
cat >~/.tmp-email-aliases <<-\EOF &&
alice: Alice W Land <a...@example.com>
bob: Robert Bobbyton <b...@example.com>
...
