The last updated script is broken beyond repair it seems.. March last year was not 79 days ago.

Hi absalom,

Those are two different things.

Date added: The day the extension was submitted/approved to be listed in JED.
Last updated: Last time the listing info was updated. Could be version number, description field, etc.

From a design and usability perspective, the date last updated should be contextually associated with the version number as the version number is the primary field to determining last updated (unless of course, people tinker with their description and content).

It would read better if you stuck the updated script next to the version number (even if it's not entirely factually correct when people revise description and content). The way it reads now is that it was first published on this date and that date was X number of days ago.

The (Updated X days ago) has been moved, and is now shown next to 'Version' instead of next to 'Date added'.

* This (Updated X days ago) still refers to update of listing info, but there is a work in progress for this to only include change in version.
