Can we add a section for release date of the extension or skin release. because it would be easer to view the release date in the special version page then go to the extension page and try to look it up.

This does sound like it could be useful, and for projects installing extensions from git, far more user-readable and meaningful in most cases than a change id (I assume that's what those are, anyway). Including the date would mean it'd be much easier to see at a glance if something looks horribly out of date or really is the current/recent version, especially since likely as not people aren't going to remember what the version numbers mean for a dozen different extensions since every extension versions differently.
Also do most extension pages on mw.org even say the latest release date anyway?

Don't we already pull the date from git if it exists?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version says yes.

Oh neat, is that new? Or am I just that unobservant? Well, nevermind, then. What about the tarball ones, though? Do those do it? Seriously, I haven't used a tarball in... quite awhile.
