	Hello,

	In the context of the SoftwareHeritage project [1], we would like to be
	able to ingest regularly the content of the gnu mirror [2] (our task
	reference [3]).

	We already developed the tar loader necessary for that [4] (We used it
	to ingest in 2015 a rsync mirror we have).

	For that task, we need to implement the lister now [5]. We plan on using
	the listing you provide [6]. But in its current state, it's missing one
	bit, the tarball's modification time.

	We could possibly fetch this for the page exposing the tarball but
	that'd mean unnecessary burden on your server (but also more work for us
	and possibly bugs ;).

	If that's not too much work, would it be possible to add that
	information to the listing?
