I found the following comment in django\core\mail\__init__.py

# Imported for backwards compatibility and for the sake
# of a cleaner namespace. These symbols used to be in
# django/core/mail.py before the introduction of email
# backends and the subsequent reorganization (See #10355)

#10355 relates to Django 1. As it's out of support, it maybe doesn't make
sense to keep the backwards compatibility. Would it make sense to have a
look at that file and check what of the code can be removed or if the
comment should be updated?

The imports and comment look fine to me.
