            I'm surprised that this issue hasn't already been closed as "Won't implement", considering that Atlassian had a tool to accomplish migrations from Mediawiki and many others – the Universal Wiki Converter – and abandoned it.  I'm not sure of the reasons, but as one who has done a few such migrations, I think I can guess at one:  it's not as easy as it looks.

            The converter is now an open project, with a publicly accessible repository on Bitbucket.
