Looking really good now. One minor nit: If you need to resort to lists
in the commit message, it's usually a sign that you can split things up
into further patches. In this particular case I think moving the timeout
computation can be considered implicit in splitting apart the function.
That is, I'd simply skip the second list item (and remove the - from the
first line).

Almost perfect. The changelog should go *below* the --- separator. This
is somewhat tricky to do because the separator will only be added by git
format-patch. You can either manually move it after git format-patch or
add the separator to the commit message. If you do the latter you'll get
two separators, but git send-email/apply/am will do the right things and
skip everything after the first separator and the beginning of the diff.

Finally, one nitpick below, which you don't necessarily have to address.

You could move the timeout variable declaration into the conditional
block and initialize it immediately. That saves one line of code and
restricts the scope of the variable to the conditional.
