Alexey,

Vladimir Nenashev evaluated this and related tools last year. We had
experience that bugs found by automatic tools generally require manual
post-evaluation, so we decided to delay an application since we had
enough bugs to fix at that moment. If one has time to evaluate the
Coverity scan results, I believe he is very welcome to apply. This
would be interesting experience I think. :-)

Thanks.
