There was a recent announcement on the Nose list about this plugin
that records test results to a database (I think there are others that
do this too) http://hg.indydevs.org/nosedbreport  I don't see any
mention of recording coverage results but this might be a good
starting point if you're using Nose.

fwiw, Jenkins allows you to graph results like coverage (if you use
the cobertura output) and there might already be a way to generate
alerts based on reduced coverage.
