With GEGL, this will be done through a scale node, like "gegl:transform", in the image graph. The code to manage this probably will not end up in about the same size as what you have already, except it will use GEGL API instead of GIMP's pixel region APIs. We have already ported the projection to GEGL, so simply look at the existing GEGL code (git grep gegl_) and extrapolate to get a good estimate on how a "gegl:transform" node would be added to the graph. And while I'm at it I can mention that your code have some coding style issues. Introducing an abbreviation like "nd" for "non-destructive" is too short-sighted, so it is better to spell that out. Otherwise we will forget what it stands for. And the opening brace for gimp_group_layernd_update_scale() is not on a separate line. This is not a problem if it's a local drop-in functionality hack of course.
