A couple of comments:

  1. I don't think the person who supports Geany on macos uses Lua, so has no need for the plugin.
  2. a package for Lua 5.1 (the only version the plugin supports AFAICT) is needed
  3. if no package is available for macos it will have to be created from source, much more effort for a plugin the maintainer doesn't use
  4. unless it has exactly the same API as Lua 5.1 its plain Vanilla Lua interpreted, not Luajit you need.
  5. You probably don't need Geany source, AFAICT the plugin API headers are installed by the bundle already, and you only need to link with Geany
  6. I don't think you need all of GTK, the plugin build only seems to need gmodule
  7. Scintilla is in Geany sources, so again all you need is the API headers which the bundle should install

Hmm, seems a "couple" == 7 today

As an alternative why not just write a command line program (in Java even) to spit out the info and bind it to a custom command in Geany.

Or just don't use Java [paid political message from all the other languages ;-)]
