That is actually from the original commit introducing send-email:
83b2443 ([PATCH] Add git-send-email-script - tool to send emails from
git-format-patch-script, 2005-07-31), i.e. ~3 month after Git was born.
At that time, user-friendlyness was not really a priority ;-).

AFAICT, it was initially supported for backward compatibility, and then
no one removed it, but I wouldn't be surprised if no one actually used
it.
I vaguely remember a message from Ryan Anderson being surprised to see
the old format still supported, but I can't find it in the archives.
In any case:
- git log --grep 'lots of email' => shows only 83b2443
- git log -S'lots of email' => likewise
- git grep 'lots of email' => just one answer in a comment
I'm not sure the feature is even tested.
