The coverity scan actually is done with gcov/lcov and is quite useful as
you say, SonarQube can do code coverage analysis also by importing gcov
info (http://docs.sonarqube.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5312222) so at
the end it would present the same data with another gui but it's not clear
if this could more useful than the current UI.
The interesting apportation is that SonarQube can give more information
about other aspects of the project code quality, all the features are
summarized here:
http://www.sonarsource.com/products/features/

The performace impact would be taken in nemo.sonarqube.org as to use this
by free (as in beer) we must use that public instance of the software, c++
plugin is propietary and has an economic cost, as LibreOffice is an open
source project there is the option to use this server by free. The
maintainers of the software indicate that for adding it only has to be
requested it in the forum, a condition to add it is that the project must
be easy to build. In the current state of LibreOffice code I think that
this is true but perhaps they have some argument about it

I''m going to ask for this

Thanks
