Well, gd or gd-GB is all the same really. Or paraphrasing, are you 
saying the spellchecker isn't working because it's identifying itself as 
gd and OO is expecting gd-GB or the other way round? If that's the case, 
fixing the spellchecker is easy enough but OO needs to be tweaked to 
understand that there's no difference between the too. At a massively 
long shot there might one day be gd-CA but I really doubt that.

Does that warrant submitting a new locale cause it's not really new.

Ah another sore point. I've tried. I went to 
http://l10n.openoffice.org/mailing-lists.html and sent an email to 
[email protected] but no response. For some reason OO 
really doesn't like my email. Clicking on the Direct Link on that page 
(http://l10n.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList) leads to a 
dead page.

If someone could add my manually, I'd be much obliged.

Cheers

Michael
