You may be forgetting that Martijn and others tagged the
scan.coverity.com database.  Now, there are some untagged errors, but
I'd say that that's because we don't control the tool, so we cannot fix
it if there are false positives.  We do control the buildfarm however,
so we can develop systematic solutions for widespread problems (instead
of forcing us to checking and tagging every single occurance of
widespread problems).
