Reading through the issues, the only offer made by infra was to follow https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Importing+Data+from+JSON
So, I'd suggest that anyone does the export from Google Code and converts the data into the format as outlined there. Afterwards a new issue could be opened to import the result. And, additionally: I definitely would discourage any attempt to run the import for yourself. I'd hope that Infra provides the ability to have a test run, or the like, which mere users can't do.
