It is not that hard to create that plan given that there is a fair amount of developers who care about code coverage.

Anatoly,

nonetheless, I don't know of any plan :).

I keep on shaving yaks when trying to get test coverage posted somewhere; it's actually not a trivial problem to set it up automatically and reliably, in my experience. If you are interested in volunteering to help, I'm sure it would be appreciated -- I suspect the right place to start would be get test coverage running reproducibly and reliably on your own machines and posted somewhere; then you could ask for permissions to post it somewhere on *.python.org. (I don't see why we care where it's posted, but that's what you asked about.)

I keep on running into technical barriers in getting cross-platform code coverage analysis working, which would be quite valuable; it's easy to get it working once, but to keep it working is a maintenance task that involves regular effort, again, in my experience.

best, --titus
