Comment (by Ipstenu):

 > However, _submitted_date is not inserted when the plugin is imported
 through cli.

 No one uses that though, except probably @otto42 and not even then.

 > When status changes, always update the last_updated meta value with the
 current timestamp using time().

 I don't think this would work in the long run, since closing a plugin
 would change last_updated, and then we can't do a quick check when someone
 says they updated SVN but they didn't (seriously, it's a bigger problem
 than you might imagine, at least twice a week I have to explain that
 'update SVN' means 'update SVN').

 The following status changes are 'safe' to update last_updated:

 * _approved
 * _rejected

 That's really it.
