AFAICT CPython already benefits from Coverity scans (I guess the Python-security guys receive those notifications). Note that this only covers the C codebase.

Correction: the security@ address doesn't receive any coverity notifications. Perhaps someone checks the (private) coverity builds from time to time, but I don't think there's anything automatic.

Antoine.
