Yeah.  That might be interesting.  If you don't know whether a bug
is a false positive or not you could submit it to the list for
people to look at.

I don't know if anyone will actually look at them.  I had been
planning to filter them to a mail box and automatically ignore
anything that was a duplicate.  But it might actually be worth
looking at them as well.  Especially if you email had enough useful
context so I could tell from the message what the bug is.

Probably we could use something like the attached script to print
out the line of code which causes the bug and some other script to
querry git blame and attach the offending commit?
