I'm currently a PhD student in machine learning, and have been toying around with Lisp for quite a while. I'm proud to say that I've had semesters when I've used no language but Lisp :-) (though in the last few weeks, I've been stuck in a land of perl and bash scripts).
I've been using Lisp on and off for about 4 years, but am at best an intermediate Lisper, because for most of the time, I've been focused upon solving particular problems as opposed to learning the language. I've long been frustrated with the state of Lisp (there is lots of code around, but finding the right thing to use and getting it running is hard). Hopefully, the CL-Gardeners project will fix some of the shortcomings. The enthusiasm I've seen so far is very encouraging!
I'm not sure how much time I will have to dedicate to projects, but I want to contribute.
Alex
