Former RAA did hold only mtime of each project.  From RAA/2.2,
it keeps also ctime in DB.  Each section of what's-new and
what's-updated will be introduced in the future.

There was the author column in the previous version but an user
pointed out that the column was uncecessary.  We want to keep
projects table within 80 chars so adding the new column without
removing some column is rather hard...  Is this a good idea that
replacing Version column with Author?  How do users think?

I seem to fail to understand what you said.  Would you please
explain the section you said here.  Did you suggest adding the
new page which lists all projects sorted by category, rather than
extending current drill-down category listing?
