I, for one, would be quite interested in working on a CL Emacs, if
there was any hope of there being a chance of it succeeding.
My day job is writing Common Lisp stuff, and there are quite a few
times I've yearned for the power of Emacs when doing stuff in Common
Lisp. (Mostly text-based stuff, but there are just so many libraries
in Emacs for doing, well, absolutely anything, that it would be so
handy...)
And the reverse as well -- when writing Emacs Lisp, I'm crying out
for the power of a Common Lisp underneath the hood.
A combination of a powerful Lisp with Emacs is extremely alluring.
(It's not that Scheme is a bad idea; it's just that there's a lot of
thought gone into Common Lisp on how to do, er, a *lot* of things.
Scheme is a lot more stripped down, and when you add new stuff to fill
in the blanks, you usually end up with something that doesn't cohere
as well as a mature implementation.)
