Hi Petr, 
Mapping for es:es-ES seems fine.

+1 From the Spanish team.

Before the transition to tx.net we (the translation teams) were able to
publish our translated versions of the guides. Perhaps this still is the
best way for ease everyone's work, and in addition each team may use its
own criteria on how and when to publish the guides. Eric made a wiki
page in order to visualize which team is publishing [2]. 
If we want to keep working like this in tx.net, we may need updated
instructions here [3], and a link to the proper git repository in each
guide on tx.net to now from where to clone it.
I remember Kevin offered himself to publish guides for any team that
needed it, and of course you can count with me too.
