Pipeline result notification email goes to main instead of group email address

Summary

When a pipeline for a project within a group fails, I receive the "Pipeline has failed" email notification on my main email address instead of the email address I configured for the group.

Steps to reproduce

  • Have mail@personal.example.com as your main GitLab email address
  • Be a member of group Company, Inc
  • Configure mail@companyinc.example.com as the email address for notifications for this group
  • Trigger a pipeline for a project within this group that will fail

What is the current bug behavior?

  • Receive the notification email about the pipeline failure on mail@personal.example.com

What is the expected correct behavior?

  • Receive the notification email about the pipeline failure on mail@companyinc.example.com

Output of checks

This bug happens on GitLab.com

Possible fixes

Pipeline notification emails should honour group email settings.
