The new web interface seems to have a glitch in determining the date/time of 
the last commit to the main OpenWrt git repo in the front page. The 
timestamps for feeds and most other repos look ok, but the main repo claims 
much too old last commit time.  Wrong time is visible in both the default 
(index) view and the "sorted by idle" view.

The "sorted by idle" view claims 43 hours since the last commit:

https://git.openwrt.org/?s=idle

Name    Description    Idle    Links
packages    Mirror of packages feed    4 hours    summarylogtree
luci    Lua Configuration Interface (mirror)    5 hours summarylogtree
openwrt    OpenWrt Source Repository    43 hours    summarylogtree
netifd    OpenWrt Network interface configuration daemon    3 days    
summarylogtree


Opening the log of the openwrt repo shows that actually just 34 minutes ago 
was the last commit:

https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt/log/

Until yesterday the field actually claimed "25 months", but apparently 
yesterday it somehow got updated to the commit from rmilecki?

The old web interface nicely showed the "age" of the repos by the commit time 
on the front page.
