We discovered that Gerrit configures datestamps in most of its
tables to reset on row updates (a particularly insane design choice
for things like a "created_on" column). Before we realized this,
intrusive maintenance activities--most notably project renames--were
mass-resetting the creation dates of changes and comments to the
date and time we ran the necessary update queries. Now we
special-case those fields in our update queries to forcibly reset
them to themselves so that they retain their original values, but at
this point there's no easy way to go back and fix the ones we did
before we noticed this unfortunate loss of date/time information.

This maintenance notification looks relevant...
