Looks good on the surface to me. My main concern was patch attachments 
being preserved and it looks like they are.

Just curious, how large is the export exactly? Certain things in JIRA 
were helpful like being able to filter issues by a keyword to "open", 
i.e. things which had and have not yet been resolved. The Google Search 
will help with indexing content but not with filtering, I'd think. If 
it's not too large, do you think this would be better suited to allowing 
folks to download an archive and then be able to use tools like grep to 
find the issues they want?

I don't know that the hosted archives needs to do this, I suspect very 
few people would have any need for being able to do that, and I don't 
want to add any work for anyone here.

Side question, more on the legal side. When everything was on JIRA, I 
think the policy was that any patches on JIRA could be taken through 
code review by anyone else, so long as the uploader had signed the CLA. 
Now that it is on GitHub, and there is a new CLA, and most people have 
not resigned the CLA for patches from the past ~20 years, how does this 
affect patches in the JIRA archive? Since the CLA was valid when they 
were provided to the project, can they still be taken through code 
review by anyone else? What is the status of such patches? Thanks.
