A note from Otis at Goodreads about the idea:
"I'm not sure why you'd need to keep the mappings though? Our API lets you lookup by ISBN or Goodreads ID, so you shouldn't need the Goodreads IDs. Maybe if I understood more about what exactly you are doing I could help? In general though, we don't actually rate limit developer accounts (yet), though we do monitor things and shut down accounts that are going haywire. So if you needed to up your activity for a few days, preferrably off-hours, that would be ok."
And my reply:
We want to write Goodreads IDs into Open Library, against their corresponding OL records. I suppose we could ping GR every time we load an edition page to see if there's a GR page available, but...
You can see an example of the Goodreads ID in situ here:

We'd like to put links like that on any edition record we can map to.
