Here [1] is a good resource for setting up Gmail for git-send-email. It's
a bit of a chore to set up but that resource was enough for me to get it
working. One of the things that you are going to need is an App password.

But have you considered using GitGitGadget instead?[2] You can make a pull
request on that repository and then the program (gitgitgadget) can send
the emails to this mailing list for you.
