Description

Some extensions have a release table that does not include release dates. Release dates are important to judge if an extension is the right choice or not.
Is it possible to add release dates to such tables?

For example, these two extensions:

dates might not be so useful for many extensions, there are many that are static/won't & don't need updates, certainly not frequently, like e.g. the gallery themes..

We don't explicitly query a release date from maintainers, but we can show a "last updated" entry or similar.

Thanks Christian. A "last update" that informs people of the last time the files were changed would be a great addition. Although it's not particularly useful for the static extensions you mentioned, it would help people judge of how likely a software extension is to run on a recent version of LibreOffice, and sorting search results by last update would help find the "freshest" extensions easily.
