I wonder if adding Koha's code is of any interest to the Koha
Project/developers and the rationale for the decision? An invitation to add
additional projects is included: use the 'Submit a Request'
<http://scan.coverity.com/arch/> link. 
Does anyone know more about this code analyser?

Just curious..
