That's a good point.  I mean, if somebody submits a bug report to
the es list, presumably somebody would translate it and send it to
the bug-lilypond list.

I agree with almost everything you said -- a rename would be a bit
of a pain, and it would have been nice if the fr list was just -fr
from the beginning.  However, I'm _not_ comfortable with
lilypond-es and lilypond-user-fr; I'd like a consistent naming
scheme.

The only thing we're waiting for is a definite decision about the
name.  In most cases when this happens, I'll just declare a
definite decision and see if anybody objects, but since this is
about translations I don't want to do this.

John, please decide to go with lilypond-user-es.  Once you've
decided that, I'll make the list, and this task will be done.
