What is the status of the optional (external?) feature "grammar
checking" and is their a plan to add proper support for this?

The parts in question are here:
https://github.com/gmatht/lyx-gc
https://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/LyX-GrammarChecker

Trying to get lyx-gc working on macOS:

The wiki page seems a bit out of date.
The last entries on the user list are from 2010 on devel from 2009?

Does this work? Still or has it ever worked?

Situation:
- LyX is 2.3.0 on macOS with TeXLive2018
- I downloaded lyx-gc from git
- chktex is installed as a binary of 1.7.6 from TeXLive
- JlanguageTool is installed as version 4.1 from languagetool.org
- the paths for languagetool and LyX were adapted to their names and
locations

Starting lyx-gc does start LyX, check TeX in LyX seems to work but I do
not see any advantage appearing. Just the plain old, mostly wrong chktex
warnings?
The goal for me would be to use all capabilities advertised for lyx-gc
with languagetool for English, French and German texts.

On the setup side I may have made mistakes, but that would make
development towards better integration all the more sweet for this.

greetings
Mike
