Assuming this isn't just trolling what is the value? Atlassian's codebase is full of security and performance bugs, and I don't think anyone could make the argument with a straight face that JIRA is a source of high quality training data.

The only thing I could think of is getting a sales foothold into Fortune 500 companies. "We see you have 1,744 man-years of outstanding bugs, want us to just boil a small lake and replace your dev team?"

The code itself might suck but the data on how the companies themselves track issues, work on the issues, handle PRs, etc would be extremely valuable no? Training the AI on what successfully completing a task means would make a lot of sense.
