I would prefer setting one common alias dedicated to bug traffic only (caiman-bugs), since in general I would like to be informed about all incoming issues. I think setting and maintaining bunch of aliases (dummy accounts) would bring appropriate added value if bug traffic becomes so huge that additional filtering of the information would be necessary.
