You have misunderstood how aliases work. You can use one alias for many
people. If you type "group" and that matches to five email addresses,
you get five emails. If a person changes their email, then you have to
change it only in one place.

Of course, if you change the name of an alias, or want to delete an
alias, you have to do that in five places. Horses for courses.
