At the bottom of each page in the GNOME docs, there's a short blurb that says, "Got a comment? Spotted an error? Found the instructions unclear? Send feedback about this page." Sending feedback sends a message to a mailing list that is monitored by the docs team.
 
I think that the person who monitors that mailing list most regularly is also the person who works on the sysadmin guide, so submitting your feedback there would be as good as a bug report.  You can also file a bug report, too.
 
That link is present on all GNOME help docs on the web, by the way.
 
I think that SL7 is using GNOME 3.8 right now, so this is the page that you'd want to check out:
 
https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/3.8/login-banner.html.en

Typically I find the upstream Gnome3 guide a bit more complete: https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/index.html.en
 
I do not see a suitable setting there either.....

In older versions of SL one could include the machine name in the login banner.  Somethings like "%n.university.edu" in the login banner config screen would produce "physics1.university.edu" at the login screen.  
 
In the present RHEL7 documentation (link below) I don't see this option in the dconf docs.  Is there an easy way to include machine name in the gdm login screen?
