Good idea.
Maybe it would make sense to make it as a Confluence plug-in/extension 
(Confluence has an OpenAPI, as well as JIRA).
AFAIK this OpenAPI is the base for for a general plug-in API called 
"Tonic", independent of Confluence:
http://wiki.opensymphony.com/display/TON
https://tonic.dev.java.net/
IMHO it would make sense to write the 'migration tool' as an extension, 
since it will compatible with more wikis, and it will be easier to use 
it one can call the function directly from the wiki.

There are already many extensions for Confluence:

There's even a Word 2 wiki converter there:
