Where is this documented?

Thanks to both of you for the clarification.
This still begs the question of why the publication date is listed
rather than the commit date for the tarball.
Imagine if when searching for a film on IMDB the results presented
the date the IMDB page was last updated rather than the year the
film was released. e.g. "Ghostbusters (2024-04-15)" for the 1984
film. Not a perfect analogy, but it makes the point:
The tarball publishing date, if displayed at all, should be secondary to the
commit date.
