You could do this in several ways. If you really want to do exactly
what you said, you could change

        realname = self.real_name
        msg = Message.UserNotification(
            self.GetMemberAdminEmail(name), self.GetRequestEmail(),
            _('Welcome to the "%(realname)s" mailing list%(digmode)s'),
            text, pluser)

to

        realname = self.acceptable_aliases[0]
        msg = Message.UserNotification(
            self.GetMemberAdminEmail(name), self.GetRequestEmail(),
            _('Welcome to the "%(realname)s" mailing list%(digmode)s'),
            text, pluser)

but then you have to guarantee that every list has at least one entry
in acceptable_aliases, because referencing self.acceptable_aliases[0]
will throw an IndexError exception if the acceptable_aliases list is
empty.

A more realistic approach would just be to use the normal list posting
address, not an alias. Then the code would be

        realname = self.getListAddress()
        msg = Message.UserNotification(
            self.GetMemberAdminEmail(name), self.GetRequestEmail(),
            _('Welcome to the "%(realname)s" mailing list%(digmode)s'),
            text, pluser)

Note that both of the above change only the first line - the assignment
to realname.

If you really wanted to get fancy and use an alias iff there was one,
you could do

        if self.acceptable_aliases:
            realname = self.acceptable_aliases[0]
        else:
            realname = self.getListAddress()
        msg = Message.UserNotification(
            self.GetMemberAdminEmail(name), self.GetRequestEmail(),
            _('Welcome to the "%(realname)s" mailing list%(digmode)s'),
            text, pluser)
