CVEs don't correlate with the number of bugs present. They correlate with the number of bugs discovered. That means that, if the number of bugs discovered is heavily bottlenecked on the time of skilled bug-finders doing the looking, you may not see a change in the number of CVEs after a partial rewrite, since supply of bugs to be found still greatly outstrips the supply of bug-seekers.
