I guess a related question is, if we could run this periodically on TBPL, what would be the right frequency?
Several years ago, I did a project where I ran code-coverage on roughly every nightly build of Thunderbird [1] (and I still have those results!). When I talked about this issue back then, people seemed to think that weekly was a good metric. I think Christian Holler was doing builds roughly monthly a few years ago based on an earlier version of my code-coverage-on-try technique until those builds fell apart [2].
[1] Brief aside: if you thought building mozilla code was hard, try building Mozilla code from two years ago (I was building 2008-era code in 2010)... [2] I used to dump the code coverage data to stdout and have scripts to extract them from the tbpl logs. That stopped working when mochitest-1 logs grew way too long, and it wasn't until blobber was up and running that anyone re-attempted the project.
