I do not mind a .netrc or .authinfo parser, because while those formats
do have security problems, they are standard files that may already be
in use. So as long as we are not encouraging their use, I do not see a
problem in supporting them (and we already do the same with curl's netrc
support).
But it would probably make sense for send-email to support the existing
git-credential subsystem, so that it can take advantage of secure
system-specific storage. And that is where we should be pointing new
users. I think contrib/mw-to-git even has credential support written in
perl, so it would just need to be factored out to Git.pm.
