I talked earlier with Zac Spitzer about MapGuide and the WMS shootout. 
His comment was that MapGuide is not likely to perform well in a direct 
performance shootout, so there is not a strong incentive to participate.

It might be worth discussing other measures which MapGuide will perform 
better on. Eg how easy is it to set up and configure a shapefile to be 
served up as a WMS. (Admittedly non-subjective measures will be more 
difficult in this area).
