Hi everyone,

When I send this out several months ago, Danny Al-Gaaf stepped up and
submitted an amazing number of patches cleaning up the most concerning
issues that Coverity had picked up.  His attention has been directed
elsewhere more recently, but there are still a number of outstanding
issues in Coverity's tracker that are reasonably quick and easy to resolve
and will make our ability to identify newly introduced defects much
simpler.

Coverity Scan makes it really easy to participate: just create an account
and I can grant you access to the Ceph project.  If you're interested in
contributing here (and it's an easy way to quickly start working with the
Ceph code), let me know!

Thanks-
sage

We were added to coverity's awesome scan program a while back, which gives
free access to their static analysis tool to open source projects.

Currently it identifies 421 issues.  We've already taken care of the ones
that are highest impact, but the usefulness of periodic scans is limited
until we can eliminate the noise from the remaining issues and easily see
when new problems come up.

If anybody is interested in helping out in the cleanup effort, let me know
and I'll share the login info.  This would provide significant value to
our overall quality efforts and is a pretty easy way to make a meaningful
contribution to the project without a huge investment in understanding the
code and architecture!
