This one is a bit trickier, but here’s what I found out.
1. The displayed email type comes [from this line](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/5dbd6a304bed5400be481d71061d3e3ebb4d6785/app/assets/javascripts/admin/templates/email-sent.hbs#L36) in the template (for the _Sent_ page):
2. The list shows `EmailLog` records, which have an `email_type` field [defined here](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/5dbd6a304bed5400be481d71061d3e3ebb4d6785/app/models/email_log.rb#L8):
3. `EmailLog` records are created in the jobs [`NotifyMailingListSubscribers`](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/5dbd6a304bed5400be481d71061d3e3ebb4d6785/app/jobs/regular/notify_mailing_list_subscribers.rb#L64-L71) and [`UserEmail`](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/5dbd6a304bed5400be481d71061d3e3ebb4d6785/app/jobs/regular/user_email.rb#L193-L202).
4. `UserEmail` jobs (and `CriticalUserEmail` jobs, which are a subtype) are queued at different locations with mostly hardcoded email types (found via `grep -R "user_email" .`):

(This should be it.)
In general, it would be a good idea to collect the complete list of valid email types (not to be confused with the email template types) at a central place and make these translatable (even though plugins may send emails as well, I suppose, therefore we probably cannot reject email keys that are not in this list, which would assert that this list is to be kept complete).

I’m also curious about all possible `email_type`s, because I’m looking into [disabling certain email types](https://meta.discourse.org/t/reduce-the-number-of-emails-sent-by-discourse/141245).
So far, I’ve seen:
```plaintext
signup
forgot_password
mailing_list
test_message
```
But the code also shows more unusual ones like [`blah`](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/e219588142929c74bb0ef988f35337075f35e6d0/spec/models/email_log_spec.rb#L26).
