Most of this information could be rooted out from the source control, I
guess, but the utility would be limited: If the development version
changed a value on 2012-04-01, but it wasn't released until 2014-04-01,
what's the point of giving one (or both or either) of these dates?
And if the user wants to know the release dates of an Emacs release,
there's always Duck Duck Go.
Closing.
