However then what's keeping any old tool labs project from creating wikis
within their project (e.g. not "<enwiki>.beta.wmflabs.org", but
"whatever.wmflabs.org/<wiki-[001-999]>") and for fun also spam this list?

I'm pretty sure something somewhere already ensures that you can't just imitate
someone @wikimedia.org from outside production (e.g. my home computer) and
successfully post to a members-only list like mediawiki-announce.

So why is beta able to imitate [email protected] and end up on newprojects-l?
This looks like a security problem.
