I've just gone through the process of securing email with Google so I might be 
able to help a bit.

Google uses a number of criteria when blocking. A missing DKIM is just one. 
See the referenced document:

https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126

One of the problems here is that mentors.debian.net does not have the standard 
email security DNS records  - SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-TLS, DANE. This doesn't 
automatically cause Google to classify as spam but we really should have these 
in place to protect email.

As an example, we may be spoofing mentors.debian.net with wv-debian-
mentors1.wavecloud.de (not 100% clear with the headers provided). SPF could 
handle this.
