So, with the experience of creating a lcov dump last week, another that would
be helpful would be a box creating lcov reports, say once a week, with the same
configuration if possible to really allow comparing them over time and identify
trends. Having good longterm trends for this would also be valuable, just as
having something to show for test coverage improvements and to credit those
that do this work.

Best,
