There is inherent humour in being unable to test the comparative efficacy of a technological whizbang due to the lack of sufficiently standardised technological whizbangs ;p.

Database-stored information on templates is "where are those templates linked from", not "and when were those links added" (unless something has changed relatively recently)
And even then that'd give dubious results. Some talk page get archived barnstars et. al., some people (like I do with User:Coren) move them off to a discrete subpage in their userspace, and some people simply remove old sections from their talk pages (which would make the template not show as a transclusion at all).
Add to this the complexity that several barnstars are subst:ed rather than transcluded -- but not all -- and you end up with a completely intractable problem.
