I'm happy to see a Spanish translation of the docs, certainly. I do
worry, though, that the desire to create translations tends to exceed
the desire to keep them maintained and current over time. Is it your
plan to continue to maintain these going forward? Is anybody else
planning to help you with this task?

Along those lines, a MAINTAINERS entry for the Spanish translation would
be a good thing to add.

Thanks,
