Please feel free to convince me more if you have a good reason to include it in homebrew.

It used to be there, because I had it installed:

$ brew search chktex
homebrew/tex/chktex ✔

But I uninstalled it and can't reinstall it because everything has been deleted from the homebrew/tex tap.  Here's the commit where that happened:

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-tex/commit/d8838e09147dff8b8f2a7756e218544a0c9d9f72

Based on the commit message they couldn't support it, so I doubt they will be willing to add it back, though you could try to convince them.  It might be possible since ChkTeX doesn't actually depend on TeX for anything, it just isn't that useful unless you use TeX, and therefore have TeX installed.  The recipe is there, it should be possible to just revert it and update the version.

That said, ChkTeX is part of TeX Live, and hence part of MacTeX.  Personally, I think MacTeX is the easiest way to get it.  Although I love homebrew, I never liked it trying to be a TeX distribution.

Could chktex be published to https://brew.sh , so that macOS users have an easier time getting this installed?
