You are one of the few persons who apply analysis and checking tools to many GNU projects, more than anyone else [2][3]. This is appreciated (as long as the reports are about platforms that we care about). However, your point of view as a "QA engineer" is not the only one that matters. The thread [1] I pointed to contains some other points of view; in particular it explains why the GNU standards say something that you find "low". Also this thread hinted that the tools could be improved. Consider how many more projects would use the tools, and how less resistance you would encounter in your quest for quality, if the tools were better than they are now...
