In my opinion, it is not redundant. On the contrary, it is valuable
information. If somebody could provide us with a complete aliases
list, the problem would be solved for good. (New LensFun entries
will use exiv2 names anyway.)

I think this is the best solution. The only problem is, how do we
get the aliases? We will have to hope that people running into this
problem will find their way to the mailing lists. This is not
ideal. At least, it should be noted in the user manuals of the
programs that use LensFun.
Possibly, one could compare the full list of exiv2 lens names with
the LensFun database. But even then, finding matches is often pure
guesswork.
Tschö,
Torsten.
