I did something similar in kde-www and ihmo this is so much better
experience.

Another alternative would be to switch from skreamer for commit notification
to the Matrix gitlab bot[1]. This provides the improvement of sending
notifications as notices in Matrix so that Matrix clients don't create
notifications for these type of messages and also display the events using
a lighter color. This would also notify us about new MR (but I guess this
is configurable if not desirable).
