I was thinking the same thing.  Almost every call to readline() in 
git-send-email is like that, so could your patch below could be expanded to 
include the other instances?

         $_ = $term->readline("Who should the emails be sent to? ",
                         "");

         $_ = $term->readline("What subject should the emails start with? ",
                 $initial_subject);

         $_= $term->readline("Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the first 
email? ",
                 $initial_reply_to);
