Description
When a package is moved from one user to another via admin tools, the rockspec timestamps are all reset (e.g. when Sailor was moved from user Etiene to user Sailor: https://luarocks.org/modules/sailor/sailor -- all rockspecs up to 0.5-4 have the same timestamp now).

Research direction
Start by inspecting the admin-tools path that moves a package between users and how it handles existing rockspec timestamps. Use the Sailor package example linked in the issue to compare timestamps before and after an ownership move; done means prior rockspec dates remain distinct rather than being reset.
