Than you all for your concern and time on the issue.

I should be more comfortable having lilypond-es and lilypond-user-fr
than forcing a rename of the fr list. I am also willing to go on with
lilypond-user-es if regularity over names is so much important, but
probably -utilisateurs or -fr alone would have been better from the
begninning. I other words, I do not want to impose my name scheme to
anyone, and I feel that a rename of an existing list is always a pain.

Waiting for any directions on what to do from my side. Hope you are
enjoying holidays,
