No. On the one hand, the audit is a bit of a counter to "writing C is the same as writing unsafe code". On the other hand, there are a number of potential efficiency (as in, time-to-develop, maintenance effort required) gains for using a language, such as Rust, which provides the abstractions used in the C code out of the box and "for free" (in terms of implementation time--not necessarily execution performance). For a mature and stable project, especially one that has already built-in the effort to set up and maintain the appropriate abstractions, the effort to re-write is probably not worth it. "Rewrite all the things in Rust" is asinine in general, but in this particular case it's especially bad. It would be much better to focus on C and C++ projects with actual problems.
