You can automate the spellchecking, but sometimes typos are included in
sentences that should be rewritten completely - you cannot (yet?)
automatically check for that.
Also, checking comments outside of public APIs is not that important - the
code will usually be harder to read than the comment with a typo.
and ran into a known issue [2] with codespell
that prevents putting some terms with mixed letter cases on the skip list.
With false positives and no way to silence the warnings, I'm afraid the
automation would not be useful.
