Indeed.

I don't think it's worth it. Because of the "fast-forward-only"
constraint, if you have commit C1, C2, C3, coming from unrelated people,
while we don't know exactly when each one of them was pushed we do know
that commit C2 was *pushed* before commit C3 was *created* and similarly
commit C1 was *pushed* before commit C2 was *created*. So the "push"
can be reasonably well approximated by the commit time, tho doing it
programmatically is probably hard.
