I would really prefer this sort of outside the fenceline cooperation.
I don't have any problem with Coverity hosting a service that chews on
our publicly accessible data like the srpms and then spits back
reports to us (in an open file format of course :->).

Is it even worthwhile to think about anything other than asynchronous
scans?  Wouldn't this slow down build process significantly if these
scans were tied into the building of every package?
