What I'd recommend you guys do is get the other ports that use C wrappers in together and try to work out a standardized wxC syntax for all the ports to use. (e.g. I see wxHaskell seems to use some TClass, etc. types but I'm not sure what they're for.) I don't think the wx developers will have any problem with hosting the script as part of the official wx tree, but we'd need people who are familiar with the needs of the C bindings to come up with the design of it and help out on maintaining the scripts.
