Google automatically disables the password we use to send emails on CI failure if it isn’t used regularly – so if CI stays green for a few months, then we don’t get notified once it breaks because the email sending will also be broken. To avoid this, let’s just send regular emails (weekly?) using the same credentials, also from GitHub actions, but to some other recipient email address that nobody looks at. This way, the password should stay active from Google’s perspective.

Not quite, but that was enough to make me compare it to the other file and spot the issue ^^
(It’s not actually an error in the YAML syntax, it just doesn’t follow the structure that GitHub expects.)

Looks like it’s not working:
Error: Invalid login: 534-5.7.9 Application-specific password required. For more information, go to 534 5.7.9 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=InvalidSecondFactor d2e1a72fcca58-705ccb72555sm6891649b3a.181 - gsmtp

I believe @WMDE-leszek fixed the password, so next Monday we can check again whether this worked.
