I'm not all that keen on Guile myself, but I think the really significant bit of the job is working out a sensible interface (at a semantic, language-independent level) for actually doing meaningful edits. If we can evolve something that works really well, and someone is keen enough to have a first cut at it, then I think we should take the opportunity. I don't have a strong preference for a scripting language. I probably dislike Python the most. Perl is inappropriate, Ruby looks OK though I don't really know it, Lua also seems to have the simple stuff more or less right. I don't mind Lisps like Guile, although I can see others might.
