I applaud and appreciate the investigation. It seems that GMail spam
filtering goes in waves; I go through periods where I find very few or no
misidentified emails, and then find dozens.

However, the message subject to GitLab, but the content that you reference
refers to GitHub.

AFAICT, messages sent from the Eclipse Foundation's GitLab instance do not
include this information (verified anecdotally from my inbox).

To the best of my knowledge the EF does not have a means of controlling the
content of messages sent from GitHub. If you want the IT to investigate
options, I recommend that you open a Help Desk issue
<https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues>.
