In the vein of "Punishment fitting crime", keel-hauling might be
appropriate?

No. That would be: cast adrift in an open boat in
a rising storm with only a VHF radio but everybody
recognises your voice now and assumes you're hoaxing
again.

But it wouldn't happen as the thing about the CG
and the RNLI is that even if they thought they
might be being spoofed they'd still go.

Had the same problem here some years ago, one of the crew was
suspected and lots of others had fingers pointed but it turned out to
be some nutter with an axe to grind.

The " putting lives at risk" is a bit melodramatic though..
unless another incident required the lifeboat and it was unavailable
of course.
The lifeboat should be able to go to sea in any weather.

It should be able to and may, in fact, be able to go to sea in any weather.
There is not, however, any vessel that can do so without risk.
