Proposal to remove the GCM Service Account detection rule (generic/secrets/security/detected-google-gcm-service-account.yaml).

This rule generates a lot of FPs due to triggering on anything that matches the pattern service_account:. In and of itself, a GCM service account is not a "secret." I suggest removing this rule to improve detection signal quality.

Can you remove the rule from configs/secrets.list too?

So just as a quick rundown, this repository contains rule definitions but the existence of their files in here doesn't define their addition into a ruleset. The files in configs/ do (which were originally generated by looking up registry rulesets) which are read from to identify which rule files to include in the ruleset file (rules.json) that gets published in the latest GitHub release.
