Thanks! make: *** [spelling] Error 2
Sphinx 5.0.0 was just released, and this build was working yesterday, so I suspect it's a backwards-incompatible change in Sphinx's behavior.
This failure is blocking changes in sphinxcontrib-spelling (see https://github.com/sphinx-contrib/spelling/runs/6657712458?check_suite_focus=true for example), so I have removed that job from the required list for now. When the docs build here is working again, I'll restore it.

Thanks for the report. It looks like a backward incompatible change in the language setting. We should set a default language when the LANGUAGE environment variable is set to LANGUAGE=.
