I'm slightly confused when it comes to identifying all the sending

Say for example a ringmaster hosting a ring on my Ringlink system
places/hardcodes the 'Join' and 'Get Code' forms on their home page,
as is often done?

The sending mail server would still be gunnar.cc (i.e. the server where your Ringlink system is hosted).

Are the notification e-mails sent?

Yes, why not? The only case when SPF would stop them is if

- somebody registers say the address webring@xxxxxxxxxxx,

- there is an SPF record for example.com (with '-all') that does
  not state gunnar.cc as an allowed server, *and*

- the ring member's mail server rejects messages because of SPF
  failures.

Whether there is an SPF record for webring.cc or not does not affect
notifications for rings with non-webring.cc addresses.

Isn't this the same as forms on my other domains using the formmail
file on my webring.cc site to send mail?

Yes. And as long as the script on your webring.cc site is used, gunnar.cc is the sending mail server. No problem.
