Yep, I'd be in favour of using the public coverity scan service. For the
sake of community inclusivity / transparency, it is always preferrable to
have project infrastructure visible to the full commnunity where possible.

We could certainly setup a travis CI build too. In particular that would
give us build testing on several versions of Ubuntu, as well as ability
to do OS-X builds which is a notable platform we lack any automated testing
of.

We only do one build a day right now, so the 2 builds a day limt is no
big deal. Their FAQ is fuzzy on just how builds a triggered...
