From what I've found, the only source of release dates would be in the GitHub repos. We could generate a JSON file for each repo by looping through the API and get a list of dates by tag:

For example, first here: https://api.github.com/repos/chef/chef/tags Then here: https://api.github.com/repos/chef/chef/commits/a90cddca0af69895415cb34051b15966a9b28277

Then find a way to update this list at each future release with Expeditor. With that list we can add dates to the release notes pages.

A better solution would probably be to extend omnitruck with information on the publish date. That information is most likely available in artifactory.
