Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

A commonly advised heuristic to protect against supply chain attacks is to wait N days (e.g. N=3 or N=7) before deploying a new upstream release.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if the resource would offer a configuration option that makes it ignore releases whose age is below the configured threshold.

Done means a configured age threshold causes releases younger than that threshold to be ignored, while older releases remain eligible.
