I agree that the lists should be merged. My point is that with unnamed 
fields and variable number of them it would not be possible to extend 
this list with additional fields. So additional step with 
`make-obsolete-variable' would be required.

It looks like a promising feature.

Interesting, Spanish is not mentioned in your document.

I have tried on Ubuntu-20.04 LTS focal (Latest LTS is 22.04 jammy). 
Without explicit fontenc it may work, but emits a warning

Package babel Warning: No Cyrillic font encoding has been loaded so far.
(babel)                A font encoding should be declared before babel.
(babel)                Default `T2A' encoding will be loaded  on input 
line 74.

Unfortunately in the case of

     \usepackage[russian,english]{babel}

\selectlanguage{russian} is required, without it compilation fails with

    ! LaTeX Error: Command \cyrn unavailable in encoding OT1.

With \usepackage[T2A]{fontenc} it behaves accordingly to acceptable for 
non-important documents graceful degradation. Text is readable, but no 
hyphenation applied.

So I consider explicit loading of fontenc as more reliable.

That is why I am suggesting a mapping from language to font encoding.

I do not see a solution "on the top of your patch". Either an additional 
mapping should be added or your changes should be overwritten by some 
extensible structure. The former is a step backward in respect to the 
idea of merging alists, the latter might make unhappy developers of 
third party packages.
