I have spent some time working on a version of the Measurement and Unit held in the apple/swift-corelibs-foundation section of GitHub. How can I best find out if my efforts are worthwhile?

I'm not sure how useful this is, because it's not really a comment on
your efforts, but... some of us think we know how this problem domain
*should* be addressed, and we know that Swift doesn't yet have the
necessary language facilities (integer generic parameters) to do the job
right. The technique was described back in 1994 by Barton & Nackman in

Probably swift-corelibs-dev would be the forum for that? IIUC correctly,
though, the current goal for corelibs-foundation is to vend the exact same
API as Apple Foundation. I'd also be curious as to when it would be
appropriate to start exploring Swiftier implementations.

I do have a small (WIP) framework for working with units and measurement, which I think has he basic idea right. Here is the link for anyone interested https://github.com/Infinisil/SwiftUnits/blob/master/README.md

I think that deadline may have already passed with the new value-type API in Swift 3.
There are some parts that haven’t been brought over - such as NSRegularExpresion, because I believe the plan is to do something special with those.
