If this email gets through, the answer is "no".

Is mentioning the wiki in an email body illegal? SURBL doesn't
blacklist
it, yet the news server rejected a previous email containing it along
with my domain.

I tried sending a follow-up test email with

https colon slash slash wiki dot php dot net slash rfc slash
on_demand_name_mangling

It did not get through.

So, wiki dot php dot net is the issue, I guess.

I'm afraid that all of php dot net is rejected currently. :-(

Apparently, this issue has been solved. Testing: <https://wiki.php.net/

I've restarted ecelerity on lists.php.net after I wasn't able to send out
the 5.6.30RC1 announcement emails.
I'm not sure if that was the direct cause of the resolution or just a
coincidence.
I've looked into my emails and they were rejected by ecelerity with
sbl_hits=1, I've looked into our ecelerity config and here is the relevant
part:

Validate validate/omniti_tools url_ripper {
base="sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org"
max_lookups = 100
forward = true
bits [
0.0.0.2 = "sbl_hits"
0.0.0.4 = "xbl_hits"
]
address_headers = "Errors-To:From:Reply-To:Return-Path:Sender"
}

if anyof(
vctx :contains "sbl_hits" "",
vctx :contains "xbl_hits" ""

vctx :contains "sc_surbl_hits" "",

vctx :contains "ws_surbl_hits" "",

vctx :contains "ph_surbl_hits" "",

vctx :contains "ob_surbl_hits" "",

vctx :contains "ab_surbl_hits" "",

vctx :contains "jp_surbl_hits" ""

) {

if vctx_conn :is "p_esmtp" "true" {
  ec_tarpit 40 "spam tarpit";
}

ec_action 550 text:
5.7.1 mail rejected by policy. SURBL hit
Spammy URLs in your message
See http://master.php.net/mail/why.php?why=SURBL
.
"spam:Spammy URLs in message";
stop;
}

unfortunatelly the validate/omniti_tools is a shared object which has an
exposed url_ripper function, but there is no available sourcecode or even
documentation what I could find, so I have no idea what does that exactly
do (I'm assuming it uses the sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org dns interface, but I
don't know how exactly it fetches the links from the message), and couldn't
find any of the domains mentioned in my email body on (php.net and
github.com) on the blacklist.

and I wanted to mention that we should really-really move away from
ecelerity it is a closed source product, which we have an old unsupported
version on lists.php.net (from the version number it seems it can be even a
custom built one by wez) and nobody else but Wez is familiar with it, who
is rarely around the php project anymore, so would be nice replacing this
one with postfix as we(Sascha mostly) did it for the php.net MX
