Hi Dirk! Thanks for the response! It's always great to know someone else is
interested.

>From what I can tell, the Github Issues API doesn't let us specify a last
modified timestamp: https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/#create-an-issue

But we do have some text on the bug that indicates last modified date. See
https://github.com/imported-from-roundup/test/issues/991 and
https://github.com/imported-from-roundup/test/issues/1026 to see that.

If you have an idea for how to better-display that "Last modified" date
imported from Roundup, I'd love to hear.

Either way, thank you again for the response!
