Me too.  I didn't realize you already had an implementation.

No objections.  I have been involved in substantial back and forth
regarding the copyright issues, and though I think things will
eventually be resolved to everyone's satisfaction, I don't expect that
to happen very soon.

Also, srfi-1 seems like something that may be used heavily enough that
in the long run, we may want a "tuned for guile" implementation, but I
don't know whether that should mean compiling it, writing parts of it
in C, or something else.
