I see from searching on list and from spying on your repo that patches
for this maintenance.<task>.lastRun feature exist, but there's no code
for it in git.git.

So we've got a 2.30.0 release with a mention of that, and it can't work,
because it's only in the doc due to b08ff1fee00 (maintenance: add
--schedule option and config, 2020-09-11).
