If you have a scheme how your aliases, are derived, say, from the
name of each record, this function may come handy.
However, bbdb-add-mail-alias is intended as interactive command,
giving the user some control. If you want to define the same alias
for multiple records, you could define a wrapper for
bbdb-add-mail-alias which calls this function for each record and
with arg ALIAS being whatever you like it to be. This way you could
skip all the interactive parts of bbdb-add-mail-alias.
Possible scenarios for such things are too diverse to define
multiple commands to cover all possible cases. In your case, it
seems to me you want something like (untested!)
(defun my-bbdb-add-mail-alias (records alias)
"Add same ALIAS to RECORDS."
(interactive (list (bbdb-do-records)
(bbdb-read-string "Alias: ")))
(dolist (record records)
(bbdb-add-mail-alias record nil alias)))
