I found out what the issue was.
By checking when the docs were written I found out that they were written at the time python-gitlab was on v1.x.
By doing the following:

pip uninstall python-gitlab
pip install python-gitlab==1.15.

It started working:

[gitmirror@hylek gitlab-mirrors]$ ./add_mirror.sh --git --project-name github-gitlab-mirrors --mirror https://github.com/samrocketman/gitlab-mirrors.git

@ydewinte thanks for the solution for others.

I think I will touch up this project and simplify it a bit. I'll pip freeze dependencies and update documentation to recommend use of virtualenv.

For now, this issue will remain open and I will close it when there's a fix out for users which don't involve running into errors out of the box.

As a side note; what is the oldest version of GitLab which should be supported currently?
