If it's nowhere near complete, and the only package that wants to use it is gnubg, and gnubg seems to run just fine without it, it's probably not worth bothering. I'll download and play with your package anyway just for the hell of it, but I doubt it needs to go into contribs. Guile for 2.x might be somewhat more useful; if there are users who want to script gnubg, they might well want to talk to the GUI. And I could imagine it might be of use for people who want to develop new Gtk+2 apps using Mandrake. On the other hand, I haven't heard anyone complain yet. And everyone who's contacted me about gnubg has just said, "cool, it works!"; I don't think any of them are interested in the possibility of scripting it. So guile-gtk2 probably isn't all that important either. If someone has a working package lying around, I'd be happy to play with it--but I'd be more interested in getting a full libglade and g*-- 2.x setup so I can show off anjuta to Windows developers who are ready to switch except that they're hooked on MSDev....
