FWIW my suggestion would be r.resamp.stats, to tie in with the 
convention established with r.resamp.rst, r.resamp.interp, and to 
suggest that this module also resamples but does so based on statistical 
properties of the input map. I think "stats" is easier to understand and 
remember than whatever abbreviated form of "aggregation" we might choose.

Let the discussion continue...
(I actually think that serious discussion of potential names for new 
modules is very worthwhile and makes a big difference to how easy it is 
for users to find the module in the future---more importantly than 
associating keywords with it)
