Could you propose to fail the build based on the number of warnings to ensure it doesn't go up?
I did something similar with spotbugs. There were existing warnings I couldn't get time to fix so I configured the maven to fail if it exceed the level at which I enabled it.
This has the unfortunate side effect that if it drops and no one adjusts the threshold then people can add more issues without failing the build.
