Yes, this looks simple; type "fr" and "Discussion list for Spanish
users" in two places, then click.  But before we do this, I'd like to
settle a few questions:

1)  which languages get a mailing list?  I mean, if somebody comes
along and asks for an official swahili lilypond list, do we just add
it?

My tentative answer is that we could create an official
language-specific list for any translation that finished the
top-priority items (IIRC, the website + Learning 1 Tutorial).
Thoughts?

2)  lilypond-es vs. lilypond-user-fr.  Francisco made a good argument
for omitting the -user-, but since the lilypond-user-fr list already
exists, I'm not so keen on making a new format for list names.

Should we make all new languages just as lilypond-XY, and keep
lilypond-user-fr for tradition's sake?  Should we ask the -user-fr
people to accept a name change to lilypond-fr ?  Should we make all
new languages in the form lilypond-user-XY ?  Thoughts?
