If such an open source tool existed, it could still be ran against the old version of the software to find errors in (before they got fixed).
That would be a good way to check its efficiency.

Coverity: one bug fixed every six minutes

Nothing beats the experience of finding bugs in the latest and greatest. Just like Coverity needs (and uses) the resulting PR (both small-scale and large-scale PR) of finding bugs, an open-source source-code-validator project needs similar feedback. Much fewer people will use and rely on an OSS tool that can only find old bugs.
