The only work I know is named tissue by Arun Isaac.  Arun also
contributes to Mumi (one web front-end of the venerable Debbugs instance
of the GNU project).

Well, I am not convinced by the argument « we would be better served by
one in scheme ».  For instance, Cuirass or Build Coordinator or even
Mumi, all are implemented in Scheme and they are receiving very few
contributions.
