[csw-maintainers] website does not reflect real package versions ?

There is one relatively small obstacle - the timestamp serialization.
Currently, the pickled version serializes a Python object instead of a
portable string representation.  When that's done, we can serialize
all package metadata to JSON and send them via REST.

Here's one starting point: GetMtime().
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/gar/v2/lib/python/package_stats.py#L191

The fix would be to make sure that the string representation is used
when serializing, and conversions to datetime.datetime are done when
necessary.
