The FOSS server fossies.org - supporting also the "Bluefish" project - offers among others a feature named "Source code misspelling reports" (https://fossies.org/features.html#codespell). Such reports are normally only generated on request, but as Fossies administrator I have - animated by the new release (congratulation!) - just created for testing purposes such a "codespell" (https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell) based analysis for the release 2.2.13:

https://fossies.org/linux/www/bluefish/codespell.html

That version-independent (not linked) URL should redirect always to the last report (if available), so currently to

https://fossies.org/linux/www/bluefish-2.2.13.tar.gz/codespell.html

By the way, the context type of the spelling errors and typos are marked by a single character (within the sortable column "T"): The less interesting, probably not user visible ones (in "comments") are greyed, while the probably more interesting ones are black-colored. Especially interesting may be unassigned errors marked by a "?" since they may be contained in the source code itself. Some more according information is offered by a tooltip if the mouse is over the string "error context type character" above the table, over the "T" in the table header or over such a context character itself within the table. If JavaScript is enabled all table columns are sortable.

Although after a first review some obviously wrong matches ("False Positives" = FPs) are already filtered out (ignored) please inform me if you find more of them so that I can force a new improved check if applicable.

OK, spelling corrections certainly have a low priority, but they may also contribute to the overall quality of a software project. So I hope that the report can nevertheless be a little bit useful.
