Given that Scheme 48 is 5 years moldering,

Five years is definitely not "moldering" for a Scheme. As far as I am concerned, it is only moldering if it can't be built in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode, or fails simple tests like <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ashinn/chibi-scheme/master/tests/r5rs-tests.scm> (and note that there are a few Schemes that only claim conformance to R4RS or lower).

and scsh 0.6.7 is utterly broken, 13 years moldering, and per the website 32 bit only....

I agree that the 0.6.7 implementation isn't worth bothering with, whereas the 0.6.7 docs are (because they are in effect the only docs).

I don't personally want to put a lot of effort into the gratuitously changed, messed up, sloppily modified but at least it builds and largely works even on a 64 bit machine 0.7, but this is further pushing the bounds of a working implementation as required for the SRFI process. Too much?

That is absolutely a SRFI Editor question, not for me. This is the first time I've written an inherently non-portable SRFI, and I don't know where Arthur will set the boundaries.
