Description

I installed the extension, but I found its not working on a few repositories.

On my own (Private) repository it just displays the current month/year even though my last commit was in May.

And in this public repository it states October 2018 even though the repository is much older. In this particular case it seems to be referring to the date of latest commit.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the extension code to see how it retrieves the repository creation date. Verify the API endpoint used and whether it handles private repositories correctly. Also check if it incorrectly uses the latest commit date for some repositories.
