Is there an API (SOAP, JSON, XML-RPC, REST, anything) to Google Code Issues?

Question

Is there any programmatic way to read the data stored in a Google Code Project Hosting "Issues" tracker? Ideally it'd be nice to update/add issues too, but first I need some structured form of data from the tracker. I only see the HTML pages, and an Atom feed for issue updates.

Answer 1

There doesn't seem to be but they have promised it's coming during the Google Wave introduction. The demo is at minute 61 and your question is answered at minute 78.

Answer 2

Now there is one.
