So I can confirm this experiment worked like charm.

I haven't tested the road-runner mode, putting laptop to sleep in the 
middle, wake up in another network.

I kept room for 7 mails per 30min, so I could keep reviewing other 
patches while sending. This might be too conservative.

I noticed git-send-email only read the git-config once, when it is 
started. If you modify it in another terminal while it is in the relogin 
delay, it won't use the updated value until finishing to send all the 
series.

30min = 1800sec, adding few more seconds to not play with fire and get 
banned for few seconds.
