A more interesting link is https://github.com/trifectatechfoundation/sudo-rs/issues?q=l... IMO. Glancing down that list, a lot of them aren't what I would personally view as major problems (ex. "rustup is inappropriate for security critical software" - maybe it is, but that's not a specific exploitable bug), but I would suggest https://github.com/trifectatechfoundation/sudo-rs/issues/575 as a potentially interesting looking example.

Yes. If you want to point out problems, it really helps if you can point at specifics.

There's a cost/benefit question, but note that the mere presence of some bugs doesn't make a rewrite worthless.
