The other option would be to teach stgit to parse alias files used by mutt etc. as Eric mentioned in the other e-mail (and it doesn't look difficult). The problem is that you would need to know how to generate them manually if you use other e-mail clients or web-based services.

At a quick look, it seems that git-send-email already uses a [sendemail] section. StGIT currently reads the smtpserver and authentication information from the [stgit] section.
