I actually don't think this is a bad ending.  You wanted the name
lilypond-es.  Savannah's lists are <project>-<listname>.  To get
lilypond-es, the project needs to be lilypond, and the listname needs to be
es.

So all we need to do is get Graham, Jan, or Han-Wen to add a list
lilypond-es.  I think we could get one of them to do that.

Currently, Han-Wen, Jan, and Graham (as listed on the Savannah website for
LilyPond.
