I asked my provider, and it seems like this (with me or any other 
volunteer, I think):
- I would have to (additionally) register the domain lilypond.org (as an 
"external registration")
- Whoever is the admin of lilypond.org would have to:
  - register/set up the subdomain blog.lilypond.org
  - edit the nameserver (A-Record) for that subdomain to point to my 
provider's IP
- Then my server would transparently serve the blog as blog.lilypond.org

Two aspects have to be considered this way:
- I would have to become a 'secondary' owner of the lilypond.org domain
- The yearly domain registration fee would have to be paid twice.

The address blog.openlilylib.org OTOH would be available 'for free' 
(i.e. included in my existing hosting package) and easier to set up 
without nameserver tweaks.
Any further changes to someone else would _perhaps_ be slightly more 
complicated.

Opinions?
