[Xen-devel] Make coverity results public

[Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

According to the contribution guidelines document [0] the coverity
database of issues is private, which makes it hard for new people to
see issues. IMO it makes no sense to keep the result private anymore:

 - They have been audited for plenty of time by different people
   that currently has access to the database.
 - Anyone can reproduce the same results by forking Xen on github and
   sending a build to coverity for analysis AFAICT.

On the plus side, having the database open would allow us the
following:

 - Coverity reports could be sent to xen-devel, so anyone could pick
   and fix new issues.
 - Newcomers could use coverity in order to find small size tasks to
   work on.

Thanks, Roger.
