What _would_ you trust as a source of truth for source code if not a public commit log? I agree that a squash commit’s timestamp in particular ought not be taken as authoritative for all of the changes in the commit, but commit history in general feels like the highest quality data most projects will ever have.
For all of the built-in adapters to work, you'll need ffmpeg, pandoc, and poppler-utils. See the Scoop package [1] for a specific example of this.

YMMV, but in my opinion ripgrep-all is pretty conservative in its caching. The cache files are all isolated to a single directory (whose location respects OS convention) and their contents are limited to plaintext that required processing to extract.
