I was confused and unclear. I've sent you the list of issues for which
you're in the list of "participants", which I believe is a superset of
the list of issues to which you've been subscribed automatically: even
if you've opted out of notifications for such an issue earlier, you're
still in the list of participants, so the issue appears on the list
I've sent you. I suppose this explains the discrepancy you've noted.

I'm pretty sure that regardless of your current subscription status on
a given issue, you'll get a notification if you're mentioned (that's
what @mention is for, after all).
But:
- I don't know if this re-enables notifications on that issue.
- I don't know what happens if you participate again in that issue,
i.e. whether GitLab will re-enable notifications. I can see good
reasons for both potential behaviors.
