The commit date has no relation to "the date when the change enters the Emacs repository" (ie, was pushed to Savannah). If you want a recent example of this, "make ChangeLog" and look at the dates of "recent" concurrency entries. Some are years old. Eg git log --fuller 0ccc5d8998a Both git dates are 2012-08-15, but the correct date would be 2016-12-10: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2016-12/msg00144.html
