I left these as 2013, since there are no clear guidelines...Initial upload time?
 When the file was first created?  First review time?  Commit time?

Sounds fine to me.

+// All events that do not apply to a request have null times.  For non-HTTP
+// requests, all times other than the request_start times are null.
+//
+// The general order for events is:
+// request_start
+// proxy_start
+// proxy_end
+// *dns_start
+// *dns_end
+// *connect_start
+// *ssl_start
+// *ssl_end
+// *connect_end
+// send_start
+// send_end
+// receive_headers_end
+//
+// Those times without an asterisk are computed by the URLRequest, or by objects
+// it directly creates and always owns.  Those with an asterisk are computed
+// by the connection attempt itself.  Since the connection attempt may be
+// started before a URLRequest, the starred times may occur before, during, or
+// after the request_start and proxy events.

Thanks, I prefer the new wording!
