Seconded.  I'd love to see that discussion start moving again.

I wrote the spell checking code for gtkhtml.  It's based on the "GSpell"
patches in the bug you referenced and has been working fine in Evolution
for the past 4-5 years.

The Enchant API is really showing it's age, though.  A more modern GIO
based async API would be most welcome.

I'm happy to help if I can.
