Problem/Motivation

The Releases page for a project is great. I do think that adding a few pieces of info would make it more useful, namely date and person, and a little margin above and below each row, to better separate them, and use the human readable name.

Proposed resolution

On Releases page for a project:

  • Add date and person on the left, below version and tags
  • Use human readable name in title (for example "CAPTCHA" not "captcha")
  • Add a little margin above and below each row

Date would be a good addition.

I’m not sure about person. I don’t expect Drupal users looking for releases to know maintainers by name; for most people who made a release shouldn’t really affect their evaluation of it. We do want to highlight and credit maintainers who make releases, and we do that on the individual release pages.

Thanks for a fast response @drumm. I actually had a use case today, where I wanted to see who made the releases, to quickly scan for a user name, but also see who is most active. Or can it be gleaned from elsewhere, maybe Gitlab? It's not very important, and more a nice to have.

Wouldn't this be an easy update to show the date in the releases listing? If a patch is created, would it make it as a feature that goes live?

This content type uses the core fields display configuration, with a little bit of CSS. Since there is configuration involved, it is best to use the dev server - https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/docs/build/development-environments/dev...
