[python-committers] anyone still have access to the coverity scan results?

[Steve Holden]

Could we consider offering a complimentary PyCon registration to a member of the Coverity team as an encouragement to have someone around during the sprints? I am sure that much useful informal education would take place, benefiting many sprints, if we enable it and just let things happen.

Or would this be seen as favoring one vendor? I don't see other people lining up to validate the developers' code, but nor do I want to step on anyone's toes. Maybe python-dev is a better place for this discussion, or maybe Guido should just talk to Van and/or Jesse and short-circuit about thirty-five "+1" responses.

Or not.

regards
 Steve
