Not only images, but also flavors can be marked as private and grant
access only to the needed projects so I think same approach could be
used in cinder, using the volume types that are already there.

Yes, we have the same same use-case, so we would be interested in
this feature but not only for volumes: flavors and images can be marked as
private already, volumes should have this feature but also networks
(floating IP pools) should be considered.
