I do not doubt the usefulness of it, but if there is no --no-annotate, it
would make the new variable unusable for those who would never run it
without --annotate option

Sorry; I meant to say "for those who mostly but not always run it with
the --annotate option".

Actually, I guess you also meant "and who sometimes use older versions
of Git", since the --no-annotate is there for people who always use the
new version.

I don't think we can do anything for it. Any patch that introduces a new
command-line option has the same issue. The only solution is on the user
side: use only features that work for all versions of Git you use. In
this case, it means "wait for all your machines to upgrade Git before
setting sendemail.annotate".
