** [tickets:#4213] Import from trac into ticket tool**

A script exists at `scripts/trac_export.py` to extract trac tickets, and can be imported with `scripts/allura_import.py`  Jon Schewe describes the whole process at <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-allura-users/201303.mbox/%3CCALpcnoxEG%3DNJ7UG1dfOKj%2BbEPMtybGNStXZPVjfHrLyLDz%3DXLA%40mail.gmail.com%3E>

Improvements needed:

* stability / handle errors (and possibly some refactor/cleanup)
* fetch and upload attachments (add uploads to import API?)
* set up milestones and proper field types (add to API? or setup directly, first?)
* SourceForge: a ScriptTask for us to run it for projects, including the user mapping

See [#6139] for wiki import.

<s>We should strongly consider making our ticket import format match our API format, so that a backup [#3154] can be restored directly.</s> ... or do that later
