I'm involved in a couple of github projects where we have had drive-by "hey, rewrite your project in Rust" PRs. Obviously not official or anything, but never seen anything like that for any other language.

I feel like those are actually trolls. I don't remember the last time I saw someone serious about rust doing those types of silly stunts.

Oh, back when Java first came out, Sun themselves were pushing this ("Rewrite it in Java!") line in spades. The hype train was unbelievable back then.
