Of course the ideal here would be for individual topic authors to run
Coverity themselves. It's "easy" these days in that you just have to
enable the CI job with a repo variable. But you have to sign up for an
account with Coverity, and of course you'll have to sift through the
false positives that appear in master from other people's topics.

I don't think they have any awareness of branches, or silencing noise
that's in your upstream (although I am far from an expert, so maybe
somebody interested can dig into their docs).
