Gitlab: how can I disable email notifications for new commits pushed to merge requests?

Question

In Gitlab my notification settings are set to "participate". I am getting tons of emails from Gitlab.

I would like to receive emails regarding new comments on merge requests that I'm participating in. But I would not like to receive an email for every time somebody pushes a commit to an MR that is assigned to me. That results in a huge amount of emails that I simply ignore.

I also wouldn't mind getting an email notification for a commit pushed on a merge request opened by me, but that's just a nice to have.

Looking in the Gitlab notification settings I haven't found a setting to support this. "Custom" settings are simply an extension of "particiapte", which means I still get an email for every little thing that happens on an MR I'm participating in (i.e., every commit). Any ideas?

Gitlab -> Preferences -> Notifications

This list shows all custom notifications in Gitlab

But if you force others to mention you in comments, you can use this notification feature:
