I don't know. I wouldn't think so. Maybe you could write a little
screen-scraper? It shouldn't be too hard. You can take a look at the
CVSGrab source code on SF. It's a very cool CVS client implemented as a
screen-scraper that scrapes information off ViewCVS web pages. You
could do something similar to scrape off SF trackers. You need
something like this anyway if you want people to migrate from SF to
JIRA. (you might want to use JTidy too in case SF's HTML isn't well-
formed, but I think you can get away with the same approach as CVSGrab)

That's good enough for starters.
