> As discussed on INFRA-12008, the earliest {{createTimestamp}} in LDAP is 20090519, which corresponds with when the full LDAP import happened. This is problematic for things like the {{projects.a.o}} timeline + {{accounts-evolution.json}} data, and for the ComDev locations map over time.
> As Infra feel that maintaining the corrected creation date in LDAP isn't a core need, and it would be very painful to fix the current data, we should instead have Whimsy publish a fixed list. This would read the {{createTimestamp}} from ldap, and apply a correction for most (but not all) 2004-2009 accounts based on account creation notices. (We can potentially extend it later for pre-2004 accounts too)
