Import from Allura

Description

Import issues/discussion/wiki/NEWS entries into GitLab. This would also allow import from SourceForge (the code must be imported separately with the existing options).

Proposal

All issues/discussion/wiki/NEWS entries etc. can be exported in Allura (creates a JSON dump).

I suggest to import these as follows:

  • Admin->project description, maybe something for the project member settings, too
  • WIKI + NEWS to GitLab Wiki
  • issues to issues with label containing the name of their specific issue tracker like "issues->bugs" to "bugs", "issues->patches" to "patches" etc.
  • discussion entries to issues with labels "discussion" + the name of the discussion board like "discussion->help" -> "discussion"+"help"

Ideally the existing markup and references (for example a bug may link to a specific discussion post) are updated during the import / as step of the import.
