The TrueCrypt audit website hasn't been updated since April, before CipherShed was announced (and before TrueCrypt folded) so they have no mention of this project. The Open Crypto Audit project also has no mention of them. However, I wouldn't read anything into that - any audit would happen after a version is complete - right now there's nothing to audit.
