I think this is valuable.
The worst engineering behavior I've found is when development teams are not accountable for their code quality. Just a group of people developing in isolation, with code that will be never seen by anyone else. Then the code base becomes a ponzi scheme of technical debt, where a hierarchy of power is built by forcing other people to refactor lousy code.
I think auditing code for bad practices, beyond code review, is something done regularly for open source projects but very rarely on proprietary software.
Auditing, beyond code review, is key to code quality. Also, making people KNOW their code will be read at any moment by any person gives lousy developers a sense of vulnerability and a call to action to act as real engineers.
