Further follow-up:
The confusing dates come from the fact that changes that the
Secretariat makes that do not affect the charter text (changes to
milestones or chairs, for example) cause a "new" charter to appear on
the tools WG charter page, though they don't cause a new charter
version to appear in the datatracker.
