You want experenced and active admins. Something everyone is short of to do non admin maintenance tasks includeing adding welcome templates? This does not seem to be a reasonable use of rescourses.
Call it "admin and patrolling" - a lot of tagging work can be done by non-admins.
I'm sorry to say, but such claim doesn't give a very good picture of your knowledge of Commons. The admin process in Commons is the laxest one I know. 200 edits! I didn't know that much when I applied for adminship. I hadn't done much maintenance work. And I was elected.
I know other porjects with more relaxed standards. We are not however looking at candidates with nor previous background You need people who can speak spanish. You need admins with image experence who can speak spanish. The only place you can get them quickly is from the spanish wikipedia. Rather than haveing them make 200 edits which are less critial it would be mnore effective to provide links to crash courses in commons adminship policy and then basicaly rubber stamp their aplications.
If we can find good admin candidates for commons that people can vouch for, that'd be great. But a mere call for admins in the first instance would be the first thing to do, on the es: equivalent of [[WP:AN]] on en:.

Except that people on es: will knock down admin requests for admins coming from commons, no matter how experienced, since "admiship is not granted by osmosis from other wikis", and you got to work a nice editcount (circa 3000 edits for what I've gathered) and being involved on the community noticeboard discussions

I''m not doing bad, but the percentage of opposes for the reasons above concerns me a bit (let be recalled that es: has a culture of "voting" for many things like adminship, deletions, etc (blank voting for anybody over100 edits, no discussion in order to reach for consensus))
