Just over 0.1% of people on githb are contributing to scheme projects:

https://www.openhub.net/languages/compare?measure=contributors&language_name[]=scheme&language_name[]=c&language_name[]=python

So, you're looking for the 0.01% of people crazy enough to do PCB
design, of which 0.1% of which will know the difference between free
software and shareware, of which 0.1% also knows a pretty esoteric
language.

I'm sure scheme is awesome for some things, but please don't make it
so that contributors like me lurking on the side lines have to learn
yet another language in order to fix bugs and add minor features.

Richard.
