Re: Sadness in my heart...
Pascal,
I hope you're making this for an irony, because rewriting a system (in fact in the lingo of the business it would be a "redoing" of the application) in another language (a.k.a. "porting" the system) will always take only a fraction of the time required for the development of the original application.

"Maintainable" is also in the beholder's eyes: How much would you require to hire a medium size team with good knowledge in CL? Would that personel cost at least no more than the "mainstream" languages?

And yes, of course, there's always this option.
And if you can provide a postmortem such as:
rewrote alone in CL a system written by 100 C++ programmers in 1/100
the time, and has more features and is more maintainable.
that'd be even better to popularize Common Lisp ;-) ;-)
