Description

We've just setup Mattermost on our self hosted Gitlab instance and the connection seems to work fine.

- Gitlab 12.9.2
- Mattermost 5.20.2

While I do get the personal daily summary and also the status bar in the sidebar some critical features seem to not be working:

- We can see no messages in Gitlab if someone `comments on or modifies one of your merge requests/issues`

It does however work if there is a direct `@` mention in Gitlab.

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by tracing the GitLab notification handling for comments and issue or merge-request modifications, comparing it with the working direct-mention path; done means those personal notifications produce Mattermost messages while direct mentions continue to work.
