Subject: [PATCH v3] gitweb: rss/atom change published/updated date to committer date

From: Jesús Ariel Cabello Mateos <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 7 Jul 2024 18:48:13 +0000

The author date is used for published/updated date in the rss/atom
feed stream. Change it to the committer date that betters reflect
the "published/updated" definition and makes rss/atom feeds more
linear. Gitlab/Github rss/atom feeds use the committer date.

Additionally, to be consistent, also use the committer date to 
determine the date of the last commit to send in the feed 
instead of the author date.

Changes since v2:

- Fix line wrapping in patch
- Also use authored date for processing loop.
- Rewrite commit message for clarity.

Thank you, Junio!
