Philip, I am summarizing below some thoughts / suggestions that I have
shared elsewhere in this discussion for your benefit.  If you're already
aware and are caught up with the discussion, please ignore (and excuse
the noise).

Would it be possible to reflect the commit corresponding to the version
in the "Other versions:" field in the output of M-x describe-package ?
Doing so would make it easier for the user to check when a package that
is available, say, in both MELPA Stable and NonGNU ELPA have the same
claimed version, but differ in their corresponding commits.

Additionally, if it were possible to reflect the commit date as well,
that would be helpful as well.
