Coverity has published the 2008 edition of its Open Source Report. The report uses static code analysis on C, C++, and Java source code to determine the quality of the code. These reports are funded by the US Department of Homeland Security and supported by Stanford University, and are part of the US government's Open Source Hardening Project. The report is based on over two years' worth of data from Coverity Scan.

First, this tool is not only for C/C++. And they're actively monitoring open source projects for defects, which is a good thing.
Anyways, you question is not much different from "Why do we need new editors while we have good old Vi?" (Actually vi question is more serious).
