Since the concern has been voiced whether it's likely to get a spam problem, I'd like to ask whether anti-spam efforts are made for the lists on ruby-lang.org. As a subscriber of Ruby-Talk I have rarely seen spam on the list, but it is good to know anyway.
I have been told that the mailinglist infrastructure falls into shugo's responsibility, so I assign this ticket to him.
Any reply, positive or negative, is appreciated.

I'm ready to help out managing the new list if this helps with it's creation.
The existence of ruby-fr is an interesting precedent, but I'd like to note that http://lists.ruby-lang.org/pipermail/ruby-fr/ says: "No messages have been posted to this list yet, so the archives are currently empty.".
I would appreciate it if there could at least be an indication as to whether this is possible or not. Because otherwise we're going to use a different mailinglist host (which I would find unfitting, but we need to go forward at some point).
Thank you Martin for your offer. You might want to participate in the discussion on the forum and re-post it there so everyone sees it.
I'm ok to create German mailing list on ruby-lang.org.
Great! Thank you very much!
Can you give the address list for initial members?
I have just sent you a list of the current moderators of the German Ruby forum with email addresses. These people should receive configuration/moderation access on the new list.
