      + it's submitted already
  + Playing with a new baseline with Windows: 2012R2 to Windows 11 & VS 2022 (Cloph)

* PVS-Studio license (Xisco)

    - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163486

    - Agreement to have a free annual license if they are mentioned in the README.md file?

   - found useful issues, but lots of false positives
   - sounds good to me (Thorsten)
   - we already mention Coverity in the README (Ilmari, Miklos)
   - possibly it has multiple categories and some are more important/useful than the others (Hossein)
   - just having results is not too useful (Stephan)
   - for false positives: how does dismissing issues work? (Cloph)
     - didn't look at this yet (Xisco)
     - Manual for "Suppression of individual false positives (Mark as False Alarm)"
       https://pvs-studio.com/en/docs/manual/0017/
   - good to start small, then extend the categories (Caolan)
