The Guix Data Service stores the date in the email from the Git hook
that runs when one pushes to Savannah. That's the date you see for a
revision, and it should be pretty close to when it actually showed up in
the Git repository. It's not perfectly accurate, but it should be better
than either the commit date or author date from the Git metadata.
