This thread pops up every couple months.
We have found that the FIRST thing you need to do is put a sane SPF
record in place for IPv4 traffic.. This has resolved the issue for most
of the cases we have seen for clients.

This is all good advice, primarily, try IPv4 + DKIM.
The contact process for Gmail is this form:
https://support.google.com/mail/contact/bulk_send_new
Though it is geared toward bulk senders, it might be worth trying.
Also, encourage your friends to provide feedback to Gmail by clicking
on "not spam."
This feedback is used by Gmail to tune their filters.
And though I agree that this does not scale, any friend could choose
to whitelist your emails inside of Gmail by creating a filter to match
your from address and then choosing "never send to spam." I know it's
not great or fair, but this does work.

I also strongly recommend you start signing with DKIM. You may not have had a
use for it, but now you do.

Hi folks,
Recently, I heard often that my mails to friends on gmail ended up in
spam.
As my mails are always plain text, signed by PGP and coming from a mail
server that I can assure is never sending spam or even high amount of
mails, that is not in any blacklist, I wonder, what makes it google to
believe that my mails should be in spam? (On the other side, the left
clear spams sent by amavis, mailchimp or others in the inbox.)
Plain text and low volumes of mail may count *against* you.
Is there any I can do to prevent google to hide the mails from my
friends?
Ah yes, before you ask, I hav a strong SPF record, my mailserver forces
encryption (with a cacert certificate) but I didn't implement DKIM as I
see no use for it.
I suggest you add an appropriate DMARC record(s) to declare your
SPF and DKIM policies.
I do mails for long time now but it is a mystery for me what google is
doing wrong here. As a private person with low traffic mail server I
also have not the power to negotiate this with google.
Regards
Klaus
