If you mean that you tried git smtp client directly, then try to debug /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email to see what happens with the + :) Did you try to quote / escape it differently ?
Otherwise, try msmtp, it's quite simple to setup, just follow the wiki.
I looked at the code already, and I think it's the gmail server that's stripping it and sending it without. I think that you can only use the "send as" option from the web interface... If I'm wrong, someone please correct me. I'd rather not use msmtp since I don't want to keep my password in plaintext on the system.
I don't get it, from the point of view of smtp, there is just a user and password, so just use the +arch one as user. About the password, where do you want to store it ? If you don't want to store it, you don't have to.
From man msmtp :
auth [(on|off|method)] This command enables or disables SMTP authentication. You should not need to set the method yourself; with the argument on, msmtp will choose the best one available for you (see below). You probably need to set a username (with user) and password (with password). If no password is set but one is needed during authentication, msmtp will try to find it in ~/.netrc. If that fails, it will try to find it in SYSCONFDIR/netrc (use --version to find out what SYSCONFDIR is on your platform). If that fails, it will try to get it from a system specific keychain (if avail‐ able). If that fails but a controlling terminal is available, msmtp will prompt you for it. Currently supported keychains are the GNOME keychain and the Mac OS X keychain. See the EXAMPLES section below. Can you show us how exactly you configured git smtp client and/or other smtp clients you tried ?
