I think you can create a BZ for it.  Last I remember, coverity does not
allow so many frequent builds (without paying?), so there is probably a
non-technical limitation.  Otherwise, we could simply submit all patch
series to coverity and look at the results.

As it stands, there is maybe more thought that has to come with this.

Maybe we can use a tag that indicates which coverity ID it purports to
fix, and we can then kick off a run.
