I don't _assume_ it. It's my _experience_ with gnulib code:
  * My experience with Coverity is about 20% good findings and 80% that I can
    ignore.
  * My experience with 'gcc -fanalyzer' (which admittedly is novel and not
    mature) is 2 interesting findings out of 29 that I analyzed. [1]

Gnulib is surely in a particular situation, with several critical reviewers
and other people who do fuzzy-testing.
