Hi.  There is indeed room.

The thing to do is to become familiar with libguile and with gdb's
Python interface, and come up with something sensible to provide in
gdb+guile what gdb provides today in gdb+python.  Keeping the gdb side
of things (as opposed to the Python or Guile side of things) clean and
maintainable (given that we'd be now supporting multiple external
scripting languages) is of the utmost importance.  [which isn't to say
the Python or Guile side are of lesser value of course :-)]

Have fun, and thanks!
