The list is missing Gustbran's secret Forge Enchantment, though I
agree with the rarity of individuals who have access to it. Inginew
Redson is much better (since they're feats) at providing such magic
for swords only (all of his feats on the above list are in an affinity
named "Sword Enchantment rituals"), and the list is missing the
Enchant [Banesword] ritual.
IMG, Inginew could be subcult (or more likely hero cult) of Gustbran,
providing the ability to enchant swords without the secret, though I
wouldn't allow access to Enchant [Banesword] ritual under normal
circumstances (i.e., without a player character heroquest). If
Gustbran has a subcult/hero cult/son that allows access to sword
enchantment, maybe there are other such entities that allow access to
enchantment of other classes of items (or other metals). This defeats
some of the point of the cult secret (but cult secrets don't come in
play in my games very much).
