Oh, right! I totally forgot about Xavier! Okay, that leaves us in a
slightly better situation than what I feared.

Got it. (I’ve now changed it, just in case.)

Interesting. I didn’t know about it.

That being said (as you noticed), this list is specifically meant for
French-speaking people so I’m not sure this can be of much help. I’ll
get in touch with Xavier, our current moderator (whom I forgot we had)
and see if we can manage, possibly recruiting additional contributors…
The GNU LilyPond community is very active in France and people tend to
be quite enthusiastic about getting involved more.

… Then again, another possibility would be, in the long term, to
create a listhelper-fr group for all French-speaking projects who may
be in need of assistance. (Feel free to get in touch with us if/when
that ever happens, as I suspect both Xavier and I would be happy to
get involved.)

i18ing the anti-spam engine would certainly be a welcome addition. If
the team ever requires authentic French spam messages as testing
samples, I suspect we can provide quite a few :-)

Thank you both for your help; it’s always nice to be dealing with
helpful and articulate people!

Cheers,
Valentin.
