I highly doubt it. For example, would it be plausible that given send-email has so much richer feature set compared to imap-send, it would not be implausible for users of imap-send that want to stuff messages, with Cc's, threading, etc., all prepared by send-email, to their outgoing folder. And when somebody wants to add such a feature to "git send-email", how would they find this variable that uses imap-send for quite a different purpose squatting on its name? Same comment for the --imap-folder command line option and the internal variable(s) used to implement this feature. These things should be named with words like "sent", "fcc", etc., to clarify the use case this new feature is trying to support. As imap-send is not part of my daily workflow, I have no strong opinions for or against the proposed feature, and I didn't find anything glaringly wrong in the implementation, other than the poor naming that would block possible future enhancements. Thanks.
