This should be replaced by WritingTool. As it is written on https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/languagetool: The LanguageTool extension is no longer supported. The successor is WritingTool, a writing assistant for LibreOffice, based on LanguageTool (see writingtool.org)

Anyone else having libreoffice freeze almost one minute at launch before working? (stops happening with this package uninstalled)

And errors when trying to analyze grammar correctness?

It's been months that it's happening but I see thanks to the two previous comments that it doesn't happen to everyone.

After installing version 6.4 I see the following error from time to time:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.languagetool.openoffice.CacheIO.setDocumentPath(com.sun.star.lang.XComponent)" because the return value of "org.languagetool.openoffice.SingleDocument.access$500(org.languagetool.openoffice.SingleDocument)" is null

Has this been seen anywhere else and is there a reason known? Edit: AFAICT this only happens on closing calc spreadsheets.

Here is a patch to update to 6.4, and to make the license SPDX compliant:

The version can be bumped to 6.1.1

Sorry, I have fewer time lastly.. :(

Perhaps 3ED_0 stopped using Arch entirely? I sure hope he is ok, but he doesn't seem to have logged on in months, since the day this was last updated. I think an administrator should orphan this package.

@3ED_0: If you don't have the time to update, there surely is someone willing to take over if you orphan the package ;)

This should work:
