Yeah well. Not commenting on the "internal" spanish "fun", thats nothing
I can or want to judge. Just one thing.

Note that it is not closed to developers only. It is, like the english
planet, for
any active and directly involved participant in the Debian development
community. Inclusion in Planet should reflect a relationship that
already exists -- it is not meant to create one. Inclusion is not
restricted to people who are currently Debian developers nor are
ex-developers necessarily barred from inclusion.
I don't know the rules that have been on planeta, can only
imagine it must have somehow been limited to people involved with
Debian, or it wouldnt really be a Spanish *Debian* Planet. I am not able
to dig them out myself (somehow I still haven't learned Spanish, not
even having the *third* DebConf in a spanish speaking country got me to
that yet :) ), and *honestly*, its not of my business.
I got a request from spanish speaking people which fulfilled the
requirements -> planet/es created.
Obviously I would like it more if there wouldn't be a bad feeling
because of that, but there isn't much I can do for that.
Also, since it is in planet-debian svn, writeable by every DD, you can
add yourself there. Or every spanish DM/contributor that wants to be
(and has a spanish-only feed). I don't know how the initial inclusion
list was selected other than that I requested the minimum of 10 feeds to
be there.
