I don't think there anything wrong with that, unless we know Coverity
is actively working against the Free Software communitiy.

I do think however that your origional phrasing was a bit odd.
"Coverity Issues" isn't really a meaningful description.  I'd prefer
if you added some sort of description about the class of bugs fixed
and then add a variation on what you show above, like "found by
Coverity Inc.".
