Comment (by dd32):

 > HOWEVER approving a plugin should change the update date :D Or at least
 it should change the publish date to 'now' instead of the date it was
 submitted so https://wordpress.org/plugins/browse/new/ shows the right
 data.

 That actually raises a different bug than the one seen here :)
 `/browse/new/` is ordered by `post_date` which will always be the submit
 date at present, not `post_modified` which this ticket is specifically
 about.

 My assumption here is that we need to store the submitted date as meta,
 for future use, and store the approval date as `post_date` instead.
