I don't know if this is possible with GMail filters but if you can
filter on arbitrary mail headers it definitely is possible to
make this distinction. GitLab notifications have a number of headers
(e.g. X-GitLab-Project, X-GitLab-MergeRequest-IID) which make this sort
of this quite simple.

Hmm. Yes, commit notifications would be helpful.
There is an "email on push" notifier integration [1], but it appears to
only support sending to a fixed set of addresses. We would need to setup
a mailing list to use it for Wiki notifications.
