Just some notes
1. Coverity isn't perfect, there will be false positives and also some
interesting cases where it flags issues due to....assumptions made in
code
2. Some of the statistics it displays on the project page are funky
and don't seem to update properly so don't worry about them too much
3. Defects won't disappear until they are fixed and a new build is
submitted to coverity
4. You guys can submit builds yourselves if you want, only warning is
KiCAD's coverity build results in ~500MB file you need to upload to
them. I use a server to do this all and will probably do it once a
month. You will want to do a 100% clean build from scratch with most
major build options turned on.
5. Coverity is bugged and if you use the curl based method to submit
builds you end up causing it to run the build twice, the "Newly
Detected Defects" option in the Defect viewer then fails because the
second build clears them.
