I am calm, I do not appreciate such statements. That make it appear
issues are specific to specific person. Public defamation... That was a
direct insult. May not be apparent in other languages or cultures.

This is NOT my issue... This effects anyone not part of a project.

Again as stated...

New people to projects may become such via small contributions. Having
access to such information and seeing small issues to fix is a means to
become a contributor. Coverity prevent such.

That was NOT what I was seeking. But it is a valid argument. One that
Coverity completely ignores. Coverity does not understand FOSS.
Coverity is USING FOSS to sell a closed source proprietary product.
They are not friendly or understanding of FOSS in general. They do not
understand forks. That FOSS projects may have their own policies and
rules that go against Coverity.

Coverity's stance is you may use their product to find exploits and do
bad stuff. It is a stupid futile argument. Given the fact there are
alternatives which will do the same. Not like their tool is really a
security tool. Its a futile stupid argument. We have limited resources
is much more believable and understandable.

Coverity is not very FOSS friendly. It is a marketing scheme...
Coverity is a product for sale... They are not producing any FOSS
anything. They care less about FOSS... Unlike SonarSource...
https://github.com/SonarSource/

Yes SonarSource also has a product for sale, but being part of FOSS
themselves, they have a clue. Thus do not have stupid policies like...
https://scan.coverity.com/faq#who-can-have-access

Not to mention you could develop your own FOSS scanner using FOSS
sonarqube and have a 100% FOSS solution. Less the SonarCloud website.
