I had to look that up. :-) Yes, I'm apparently looking at (and for)
author dates. I don't really care when the commit was merged into
master (that's the committer date, right?), I want to know when the
work was done.

I didn't really see any useful switches for git log in this regard but
then the author date seems to be additional data without special
meaning to Git.
