Two 'codemeta' dates potentially misleading

    if 'datePublished' in codemeta_json:
        metadata_zenodo['publication_date'] = codemeta_json['datePublished']

misleading.

There are 3 dates in codemeta; dateCreated, datePublished and dateModified.

metadata_zenodo['publication_date'] will show the date in which the Zenodo record was created/updated. Then user should change - in my opinion both published and modified dates - in the codemeta.js file to avoid confusions.

Which one should we use in the conversion then ?
