Using the date in this sort of case is a pretty good idea, but you
should prefix it by '0.0.'. The porter's handbook says:

"The idea is to make it easier to sort ports by looking at the version
string. In particular, make sure version number components are always
delimited by a period, and if the date is part of the string, use the
0.0.yyyy.mm.dd format, not dd.mm.yyyy or the non-Y2K compliant yy.mm.dd
format. It is important to prefix the version with 0.0. in case a
release with an actual version number is made, which would be
numerically less than yyyy."

However, since you're porting something distributed via Github see the
specific instructions here:

le-distfiles.html#5.4.2.1
