I see that the number of lines of code being checked has dropped from
five million lines to one million lines.  I see that a lot of open
source projects have joined the fine contribution of Coverity in the
last weeks, and checking twice the source of these projects make
no sense and is a waste of resources.  But I hope that third party
software as sendmail is being verified.  Perhaps sendmail itself should
audit its code using the *excellent* tools provided by Coverity too.
I guess that some vulnerabilities can be discovered in this MTA (postfix
has passed its auditing process with great results).

I hope that a critical software project as sendmail will join this
excellent donation to open source community or, at least, be audited
as a part of the evaluation of other software projects as NetBSD.
I hope they will accept the bug fixes in the latter.

Best regards,

Igor.
