Excellent, thanks!

Yes, thanks a lot for creating the test inatance. :-)

Please review the import and report any *show stopper* issues to the
infrastructure team via the Jira ticket created for this import. [2]

I'm not sure whether this is a showstopper issue for the new import as
it obviously wasn't too important for the maintainers of old OOo-IZ, but
many issues got spam-attachments
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=113088

I see that JIRA does a more sensible thing for such kinds of
attachments, by replying
"The attachment is not viewable in your browser due to security
restrictions enabled by your Apache ooo Bugzilla administrator."
but I think if it was possible to identify it would be even better if it
was possible to remove the spam-attachments before they get imported
into JIRA.

An efficient to identify many spam-attachments in the JIRA import is to
look for attachments by "Unknown", which works because many of the
abusers of the old system got banned and their userid got deleted. An
even better best way would be to directly scan for spam.

I think the spam trash should be tried to deleted before importing into
a real system. Otherwise someone has to go over the issues (maybe
one-by-one, I don't know) and delete it manually which doesn't sound
very attractive.

If you know any way to delete spam en masse that would work better
before (rather than after) an import, please suggest it.

No, sorry.

According to the Bz manual, Bz can be configured to run CGI scripts.
Perhaps finding "Unknown" attachments and deleting them can be
automated. Otherwise, it looks like searching for spam itself, and for
contributions from identified spammers, could take a while, but I will
do it.
