Bug#602211: add timestamp information to dm_list.html

[Stefano Zacchiroli]

Package: nm.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Heya, thanks for dm_list.html, it's a very neat page to give credit and
visibility to Debian Maintainers!

To avoid people puzzled by (apparent) out of dateness of the page (e.g. [1]),
it would be nice to have some timestamp on the page. The attached, untested!,
patch should implement something akeen what's needed.

Cheers.
